Candy Sale Facts:
Camp Fire is the FIRST
organization to ever teach youth about business sense and fundraising by
having members sell candy.
The going rate for good chocolate is $1
per ounce. Each of Camp Fire’s boxes has 5 ounces of good chocolate.
What is Fair Share?
Fair Share is the amount of candy that every member must sell to
support the council. Usually, Fair Share is 60 units.
What is Early Bird?
Youth who sell 45 units in the first week of the sale earn a special
emblem for their effort.
How do I help my child be successful?
Review the Award Sheet and help the child set a goal everyone in the
family can handle. Make sure your child is always in uniform. Take some
candy to work with you. Always accompany your child when they are out
selling candy. Teach them to always say “Thank You”, to be
safe, and to be polite even when others are not.
How do I help the council have a successful sale?
Turn in money often. At least once a week. Take care of the candy.
Always know what you have on hand in case it is needed. Never hold on to
candy. If you are not selling, return it so that others can.

“Candy
Sale is more than a way for Camp Fire USA’s members to support their
organization. It is a way for them to learn personal responsibility and
accountability. The money that we make from the sale of candy is nowhere
near as valuable as the lessons taught to those that participate in the
sale.”

buying support for Camp Fire – the candy and nuts are free! - Politeness counts.
Always say “Thank You”! - Go out and sell door
to door on Superbowl Sunday. - Don’t be shy.

Go door to door. Make phone calls. Success depends on a combination
of methods. - If you are older,
you might want to bring a younger brother and sister to help you
sell. - Sell as much as you
can early in the sale and always go out on pay days. - Always look neat and
be in your uniform. - Have plenty of one
dollar bills in case you need to make change. - Sell at least a
little every day. Maybe even set a goal for each day. - Turn in money often.
The more you turn in, the more you can check out. - Make a poem. Tell
people you are earning your way to camp this summer. Be creative. - Don’t overlook small
businesses and their employees. - If someone says
“I can’t eat chocolate”, say “You can give it as a
gift”, or offer PNuttles as an alternative. - Wrap boxes for a
valentine gift. - Sell what you have –
don’t wait for a certain varieties. - Always remember to
use good manners at all times. SMILE!!!

cents each for Smooth mint Patties, 45-52 cents each for other
