Popcorn

It’s nearly fall, and that means it’s time for Scouts to sell popcorn to help fund all the fun activities planned for the coming year. We know that non-Scouts out there love popcorn, and we know they want to support a good cause like Scouting. 

Our council partners with Trail's End.  This entire program is focused on the Scout experience. 

Dollars raised fund experiences like summer camps and community projects in addition to helping Scouts cover their pack and den activities. This fundraiser teaches Scouts how to approach adults professionally, speak publicly, manage the finances of a fundraiser, and navigate the many ways to raise funds online. 

Proceeds of their fundraiser unlock new adventures for them, including a life-long respect for their environment, problem solving, self-confidence, and survival skills that will benefit them for life.

From securing booth to sign-up for to actual sales, this is all managed in the Trail's End app that can be downloaded to Apple and Android phone.  When signing up for the first time, our Unit Code is SF6F9
