Pecatonica Popcorn Fundraiser

The Popcorn Sale is an incredible foundation to the life skills our program takes great value in. Skills such as people skills, money management, goal setting, and work ethic are life skills that scouts can use throughout their lives. Scouts work on these skills in depth during popcorn sales. Popcorn sales are the main fundraiser for scouting. The pack earns over 30% on all popcorn sales. The funds from our popcorn sales cover the pack costs throughout the year for awards, achievements, pack meetings, scout birthdays, hikes, pow-wows, and other events. 

Our council currently works with the popcorn provider, Pecatonica River Popcorn. All Scouts in Pack 341 have been sent an email from them with a link to register for online sales. All scouts, with the help of their adult, should activate their online account.

We know that while technology can be amazingly helpful and time-saving, it does sometimes have it's issues, so PLEASE do not hesitate to reach out if you have any issues with it all. It is new to the popcorn team as well, but it has already been a wonderful addition to the Popcorn Season! 

Popcorn Sales Goals

For our Pack to function at the high level we do each year, it takes about $250 per scout on top of dues fir supplies, patches, awards, etc. That translates roughly to $650 in popcorn sales per scout. We want to strongly encourage each scout to take part in "Helping the Pack Go" through "Doing Their Best" to participate in the popcorn sale.  In an effort to do that, we give each scout the goal of selling at LEAST $300 in popcorn.

If for some reason, you choose not to sell or do not reach this goal, the Pack has a tiered system in place for buy-out amounts. 

Prize information will be updated once we receive information from the Pathway to Adventure Council regarding the 2025 sale. 

How to Reach Your Goal!!

Helping your scout reach their popcorn goal doesn't haven't be stressful! You can sell popcorn in each and every one of these ways to meet the goal, or just by choosing one method!

- "Wagon Sales" / Door to Door Sales

Any sales that take place face to face, that are not at a storefront are called a "Wagon Sale". These orders will be tracked on the paper order forms. OR your scout can check out, essentially "preorder", popcorn products to sell to family, friends, and co-workers. Having products on hand to deliver as you sell will increase your sales drastically. Pre-order popcorn for your scout’s wagon sales using this link: 

- Online Orders

Scouts can sell popcorn products to family and friends all over the country by sharing their online fundraising page. All Scouts in Pack 341 have been sent an email with a link to activate their account. You can then create a link for your scout and send this link to your friends and family.  Popcorn is sent directly to them from the site. These orders are automatically credited to your scout via the website, please do NOT add these to your counts. 

- Store Front Sales

A storefront sale is a lemonade stand type sale that is set up beforehand by the Pack with a specific store. The sale is setup in front of a store and is run in two hour shifts. Scouts are expected to arrive for their shift wearing their Class A uniform, dressed for the weather, as these sales are outdoors.  Store front sale signups will be viewable via the link on your scout's prpopcorn.com log in. Signups are not available yet, but the dates will be viewable. You will sign up your scout on this form. Please do not bring pre-ordered popcorn or take order forms to these events. The popcorn that is sold at these events is provided by the Pack. Store front sales will be divided equally between the scouts that participate in the sale for each designated time. The amount then will count towards your minimum sales goal.

- Take Orders

Because not all items are available to have on hand for wagon sales. Sometimes we will have to place an order for items. These items will arrive in early November. We call these "Take Orders" and place them on the paper order blanks. You can view/ print additional copies of the paper order blank here
