Fundraising

Each fall, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts kick off their annual popcorn sale. Typically about 1/3 of the proceeds from this fundraiser are given back to the local unit (Packs and Troops) to pay for Basic Expenses including dues and event costs. Another 1/3 goes back to the local council for facilities, staffing, program materials, and other resources.

Many councils give their Scouts a variety of ways to earn money with popcorn:

• "Take Orders" - orders taken for later delivery.
• "Show and Sell" - sales are often made in front of large grocery or other stores for immediate delivery.

• "Selling Online" - Scouts to email a link to family and friends. Orders go directly from the company to anywhere in the US!
• "Support the Troops" program where popcorn can be sent directly to our troops around the world!

Popcorn can bring more than fun and adventure. Scouts learn that with hard work they can save enough in their Individual Accounts to reach their goals. Scouts learn personal management. Self-reliance is learned from real-life experience not a lecture.
