  • Comcast Users—if you are having trouble getting emails from Camp Masters, you need to go into your settings and 1. add [email protected] to your email address book or 2. in your security settings unblock [email protected].—this should solve emailing issues.
Housekeeping notes:
  • Once you enter the Campmaster system through the email you received at the beginning of the sale-be sure to record each sale under the youth(s) that sold. This plays into your favor because you will be able to pull what is called a pick list that is like a packing list for their sale (makes pulling their popcorn easier)
  • Point to note – you do not have to record each scout’s home address when entering their sale-it is not required.
  • Point to note – when you have entered their sale you can mark them paid, which will come in handy later on as you collect money.
  • Reminder: you can change-delete-redo any of the scouts sales until you submit to council.
  • Don’t forget as soon as your popcorn order is paid in full your prizes will be release. All prizes must be placed by December 1, 2023.
  • Which brings me to the ordering the Prizes: you will go through your email portal just like you would ordering popcorn. On your dash board there is a link that says Order Prizes-click on that link-it will launch to the Keller Prize page-follow the prompts and you will be able to order your prizes.
  • Remember when ordering your prizes to order your pins for online sellers and military sales and don’t forget to order your patches.
  • When filling take orders from your show and sell inventory, be sure to mark those items as delivered. This will reduce the amount of the Unit’s take order and save you from unwanted inventory.
  • Don’t forget to order your Military Donations. Otherwise they won’t be ordered and sent to our service personnel.
