Darryl, this is in response to your question about my original
e-mail regarding what our pack does for those who don't sell
popcorn. You had asked about those who can't afford to pay.  Our
pack lets everyone know that, if they can't sell for whatever
reason, they are to contact our committee chair to
confidentially discuss their situation. The pack is willing to
waive the buy-out if circumstances warrant. If the reason is
strictly financial, however, the pack wants to see the boy
actually sell popcorn to help "pay his own way" and "help the
pack go". I've seen a lot of council camps' info, and having to
sell popcorn is in line with many campership qualifications.
