All Units receive an excellent
opportunity to earn money for their programs and help
further the mission of Scouting at the same time.
The Product Sale occurs each Fall. The average unit
has earned over $2500 for their own Unit treasury
the past three years. Selling popcorn and candles
is easy and quick. Contact your District Executive
for a presentation to your unit committee on how to
participate. By participating in the popcorn sale
you earn money for your unit, prizes for your youth,
and young people develop valuable sales skills. Your
Unit can raise enough money in the Popcorn Sale to
support your unit for the entire year. Also, Trails
End Popcorn now offers a Scholarship Program for Scouts
who sell.
