Fundraising

Fundraising Program

Program costs can be covered for your Scout through fundraising - mainly through the sale of Popcorn & Wreaths.  The experience of fundraising can teach each Scout important skills in communication and give them a chance to share what they love about Scouting. Fundraising will directly benefit your scout - as the proceeds go into their own scout account to help pay for personal equipment, camping costs and summer camp. 

Scouts are credited with 30% of popcorn sales and 50% of wreath sales.    

Popcorn Sales

Scouts have the chance to share the fun they have with Scouting through popcorn sales. Orders are due late October and product will come in for distribution mid-November.  

Contact the Popcorn Kernel listed in 'Our Leaders' on this site with questions.

Two ways to participate in the Popcorn sale:

• 1. Take Orders:  Scouts will be able to take orders for popcorn. The form is available to be printed from the Bay Lakes Website (Popcorn Order Form).   

  2. Online Orders:  Scouts will have an online ID and information sent to them after the first Pack Meeting.  They can then forward that information and receive credit for online sales by friends and family.

All popcorn forms & information can be found under our Documents tab and Fundraising.

Wreath Fundraiser

Wreaths are popular leading into the holidays and the company we work with has high quality products.  Payment for orders must be made when the order is taken.  Wreaths are typically distributed for delivery in mid-November. 

Wreath information & forms can be found under our Documents tab and Fundraising
