in a pickle

This must be county-wide because I saw scouts outside our local grocery last weekend selling popcorn. I tried to sneak around them because I did not want to be solicited. We live in the Seattle area.

Been there. I gave popcorn as presents with gift certificates to rent movies. I felt it was a win-win situation. This was totally voluntary on my part though and was not under pressure to buy any.

I'd have to "just say no.."
Actually thats a tough one to deal with. The poor kid wants to stay in the scouts and enjoy the activities and evidently this scout leader is working that way. I would ask the other parents and then get together and discuss it with the scout leader. There has to be a better way than that to raise money for the kids.
