pcbubba 10 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 I am looking for software to manage the record keeping involved with the Trails-End popcorn sales. I have seen 1 reference to a spreadsheet in the fundraising NetCompass area (http://www.pack846.org/popcorntracker). I was wondering if there were other types of spreadsheets/programs that have been used by other troops/packs. Thanks in advance.... Link to post Share on other sites
AdvanceOn 10 Posted September 21, 2002 Share Posted September 21, 2002 Have you visited the Trails End website? I haven't checked it out recently but I know they got a budget online, ordering online, etc. Maybe they have what you need. http://www.trails-end.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
pcbubba 10 Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 Thanks for the quick response... I have visited the site. They do have a online system like you mentioned, but it looked like it had to be setup for use by your COUNCIL. Link to post Share on other sites
AdvanceOn 10 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I'm not the one doing the popcorn in our unit so I haven't followed the whole process (but will have to since I'm assisting a pack get back on it's feet). Each unit should be able to use the system. You have to register. I know our council (Greater Pittsburgh) is encouraging all units to do everything on line at the Trails End website. Maybe somebody out there knows more about the process. Does the system require the Council to be using it before the units can? If that's the case then you may want to try to convince your council to get on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I guess I haven't been in this thread in awhile. I guess it's too late to discuss this for this year, I know our sale ended Oct. 15. (Our pack share will be over $2,000 for the second year in a row, yay! We had one kid sell over $1,000 which I don't think we ever had before.) But when I went to the Trails End site to look at the tracking system, it doesn't look like the council really has to do much to set it up. It looks like the council is provided with user names and passwords (or the ability to make them) by the company, and all the unit has to do is ask the council. Did you ask? I never get tired of asking questions of my council office, though I suspect sometimes they get tired of me. Link to post Share on other sites
ASM7 10 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Troopmaster has a built in program for tracking popcorn sales plus the scout's names are already on the sheet. Less data to input. Doug Link to post Share on other sites
kthoman 10 Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Someone in the Daniel Webster Council in NH has developed an Excel spreadsheet to track a Unit's popcorn sales. We have used it for the past 4 years and it is great. It is in the Arrowhead district's fundraising area. Link to post Share on other sites
