With two weeks left in the 2022 Coffee Sale, sales are heating up! With over $1,500 in total sales, Northwest District Troop 14 has had great success with Venmo, securing more than $400 in orders through this easy-to-use “cashless” payment app.
The benefit of Cash App, Venmo, and other similar “cashless” apps* is that they have no fees associated with transactions through the app, therefore allowing the Troop to maintain their 30% commission on all sales.
There is still time to get your unit involved! You can commit your unit to sell and will also find the order form (pdf and jpeg for easy sharing on social media), information sheet, and prize information at www.erieshorescouncil.org/coffee.

Hello Coffee and Tea Lovers!
Spring is in the air, and we finished up our first week of the 2022 Coffee Sale! We have heard some great things from those who are selling. Troop 325 from Wood District said about half their Troop members were selling this year. One Scout filled up an order form in the first three days! Once this was announced at their weekly Troop meeting, three more Scouts decided to participate because they heard how easy it was to sell!
The Coffee Sale, when used in tandem with the Popcorn Sale, can provide Scouts an opportunity to raise a few more dollars towards their summer programs and/or some much-needed gear!
If your unit is not selling, there is still time to get your unit involved! You can commit your unit to sell and will also find the order form (pdf and jpeg for easy sharing on social media), information sheet, and prize information at www.erieshorescouncil.org/coffee.
