Our fall popcorn sale has begun! 70% of each sale goes toward our council and pack. Funds from popcorn sales go directly toward covering various Pack 462 activities and expenses. These funds defray costs per scout so we can keep annual dues lower. As a result, we need 100% participation!
Key Information:
Dates – Now to November 9
Goal – Sales/Donations of $250 per Scout
Incentives for Top Sellers – Gift Cards and Other Prizes!
Online Sales – See “How” below to get started
Our Goal is to earn $250 per scout. Scouts can earn reward points toward gift cards for selling popcorn and obtaining donations.
Pack 462 uses funds raised for events like Camping, Pinewood Derby, Water Rockets, and more! Our pack receives 30% of the proceeds from all sales and donations, and 70% of the profits from the fundraiser stay local. Our Council uses its share to maintain campgrounds and facilities, provide leader training, support outreach programs for underserved communities, and fund scholarships for Scouts to attend camp and other activities.
