Special popcorn sale incentive:  Scouts selling popcorn through the National Jamboree Troop will earn 40% commission.  Scouts must participate through the Jamboree Troop and will not qualify for any prize incentives.  To calculate the sales needed, determine how much the Scout would like to earn toward the Jamboree and divide the amount by .40 (40%).  For example, a Scout with a goal of $1,000 toward the Jamboree from popcorn sales would need to sell $2,500; 1000/.40 = 2,500.
