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.

For Units

This year's sale is set to be our most successful fundraiser yet! We have partnered with Trail's End, a leader in Scout popcorn fundraising. They provide a streamlined selling process and user-friendly technology for unit leaders and Scout families.

This year, we're also introducing an additional order date to give units greater control over their inventory. We have a simplified prize structure, which reduces the workload for our volunteers, and we've added a new bonus prize along with several other exciting improvements!
