Popcorn Sales

All Units receive an excellent opportunity to earn money for their programs and help further the mission of Scouting at the same time. The Popcorn Sale occurs each Fall. The average unit has earned over $2500 for their own Unit treasury the past three years. Selling popcorn 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.
