	When Scouts has a successful national popcorn campain, we used the Christmas Party as time to recongize everyone's efforts. The top popcorn sellers of each Section get to throw a whipped cream pie in a leader’s face so we needed groundsheet, towels, whipped cream, and pie plates. Leaders who think they are in for it, might consider bringing a spare t-shirt. During the pie toss, we need to ensure that all the kids stay back. If not, they push forward and it becomes unmanageable.		When Scouts has a successful national popcorn campain, we used the Christmas Party as time to recongize everyone's efforts.
