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.
