Popcorn Sales

2023 Selling Dates - August 1 - November 20, 2023

Building a strong, adventurous program is a great way to keep your Scouts active and interested in the Scouting program. Popcorn sales help fund those adventures. The Alamo Area Council’s premier money-earning project is the annual popcorn sale.  

• Scouting Units can earn up to 40% in commissions to pay for their Scouting adventures

• No up-front cost or risk to the Units

• Scouts learn salesmanship and build confidence

• 70% of all sales stay right here in our local area

Many Units have raised sizable amounts of money from popcorn sales; providing for a secure and stable source of income to cover the cost of camping, badges/advancement, special events, Scout nights, and other outdoor adventures. Sign your Unit up to participate in this Council-sponsored fundraiser that has proven successful for over 35 years, with $4 billion returned to Scouting nationwide at an average of $150 million each year!

Fundraisers, such as the Popcorn Sale, not only support our Units, but also provide support for Scouting Council-wide to help us serve members and volunteer leaders with top notch programs, training opportunities, and camping facilities.

Adventure Cards

2024 Selling Dates - TBD

50% Commission

Each card sells for $5.00.  Local Scouting units keep $2.50 automatically for each card sold. The Alamo Area Council receives the other $2.50 to help continue its support of local Scouting, and to pay for the preparation, printing and distribution costs of the card.

Great Value

Each Adventure Card includes a variety of one-time discounts along with multi-use discount offers that can be used throughout the year.   Purchasers of the card can get their purchase amount back immediately when they use the coupons for their next retail purchase, or the other one-time use offers.  These discount offers from local businesses make the Adventure Card an extraordinary value for Scouting supporters!
