Scout Script
Hi, my name is ___________, and I am a Cub Scout with Pack 147. I'm selling popcorn to raise money for the things I like to do in Scouting. The popcorn is delicious and there are many different kinds to choose from. Will you please help support my adventure in Cub Scouts? (Always say "Thank You" when you are done) Good luck and have fun... Yours in Scouting,
Mr. Carmine
