Popcorn Fundraiser

The Scout Account

Your Scout's Scout Account stays with your Scout through their entire tenure in the Pack. For every dollar they earn through popcorn sales and other fundraiser events, it can be spent on things like camping, day camps, yearly dues, and more. This offsets the financial burden of Scouting on parents and guardians and why we offer multiple fundraisers through the year.

How

Resources

Trails End App

Sales are done with the Trails End app.

When signing up, you will create an account on the Trails End website. Enter that you are: Garden State Council and Pinelands district and Pack 4059. This should create a sign up code of Q8VYD. Now you have an account that benefits the Pack and you can sell at shifts using the app. However if you want your scout to get credit for online purchases, there is a Scout Code you will need to give others so your scout gets full credit from online purchases.
