Annual Popcorn Sale
The popcorn sale is our biggest unit fundraiser of the year, and selling has many benefits. Fundraising teaches Scouts many essential life skills such as goal setting, salesmanship, communication, teamwork, time management, and countless others. It is an excellent opportunity for learning and helps deliver the Scouting program to Scouts across our council by providing camperships, membership fees, uniforms, and other essential items. Many of our units can fund their entire Scouting year with this one sale! This includes paying for things such as summer camp, advancements, and membership costs.
