Popcorn

It's that time of year again, CUB SCOUT  POPCORN SALE time!!!   Please read through this entire page (even if you’ve sold before) 

Our annual popcorn sale is how we fund our Pack-level scouting year so every scout's effort has a direct impact on the quality of our program. It should be noted that the Pack as a whole doesn't collect fees during registration.  The yearly registration fees you pay go to the council and national organization that we operate under.  Pack fees go directly to your den.  Any activists we offer for the entire Pack is paid for with the fundraising from our sale. 

Our popcorn purveyor is Trails End. Please download the app to record your scout's sales (see links below to Apple Store and Google Play). You can recover an old login and password if you forgot it, or make a new account if this is your first year selling. We recommend making a new account on the desktop website rather than the app. 

Things you may need to know to register:

• Pack (or unit number): 316

• Council: Patriots Path

• District: Skylands

THREE WAYS TO SELL

• Show & Sell - sign up now for one of our in person sales at a Chester storefront in September. This is the EASIEST way to get your scout involved and meet his sales goal. There are two slots per 2hr shift, coordinate with another scout friend and sign up in the trails end app to sell together.

• Wagon sales - any individual sale a scout makes in person, such as door to door or hitting up the family in town, is considered a "wagon sale". Your scout takes the order and delivers the popcorn when we get the orders filled in (November)

• Online - each scout can set up his own website, add a picture, add a blurb about why he loves scouting, and have your out-of-town friends and families place their orders and it’ll ship directly to them.

OUR GOAL

Our overall goal this year is for all scouts to raise at least $300 through sales and donations. The popcorn sale is an outstanding learning opportunity for your scout, providing them with the chance to practice public speaking, setting and achieve goals, community involvement, money management, and confidence building.
