September is Popcorn Season!
Move over Pumpkin Spice! September is ALL about popcorn! One of the reasons why Pack 911 has the LOWEST fees, despite being one of the largest packs in our entire council is because of our fundraising efforts in Sept. We want to continue to give our scouts an amazing quality program and help them cover all the expenses for their adventures, field trips and earn a ton of scout swag along the way!
THE ASK? Have your scout sign up for two 2-hour storefront shifts in September or check out 1 wagon kit and sell in your neighborhood! Join us on Sept 11th in the Pine Room to pick up your Popcorn gear and help us get to our goal!
You'll get all the important details on Sept 11th, but in the meantime, your scout can start earning awards by logging online and updating their profile!
Next steps:
RSVP HERE to our September 11th Pirate Party, where we'll also celebrate Pack 911's Anniversary (founded on September 11, 1994).
Download the app on your phone and create an account for your scout here: https://login.trails-end.com/ (The Trailsend code is 4NPVP, Make sure you selected PACK 911, Reyes Adobe District and Western Los Angeles County Council)
Earn your Popcorn Seller Patch by signing up for 2 storefronts on any available slot in September (we typically have 2 hour shifts on Saturdays and Sundays) OR by checking out a Wagon Kit!
Let’s POP to it!

Wagon Sales: Check out popcorn from our inventory to sell on your own to family, friends, and neighbors! (essentially taking your popcorn around in a wagon) Keep track of your inventory with a checkout sheet and log sales all in the app! All unsold inventory should come back by September 30th (or ideally sold out).
While Trailsend offers rewards for each Sales Tier, Pack 911 has historically offered even BETTER awards for every Scout that participates! Last year alone, we gave our Scouts over $12,000 in direct credits or payments to cover everything from a week of summer day camp, registration fees, scout shop credits, including 40+ tickets to Camp Emerald Bay in Catalina Island.
For every bag of popcorn sold, Pack 911 receives roughly 30% commission, with the rest of the proceeds split between Scouting America and Trailsend. We do our best to give ALL of that credit back to our scouts and maintain just enough for our basic operational costs.
This year, we hope to provide even MORE awards for their hard work and to offset financial costs for our families, so everyone can participate and enjoy the scouting program!
Check out our list of prizes. We've made it super easy and fun for even our youngest cubs to be motivated and earn their way, gain confidence in staffing a storefront, and contributing to the overall success of our pack! Complete a Popcorn bingo and collect a prize! Make a video to showcase on your Trailsend profile or share on socials, and earn a prize! The 2025 video below was scripted, edited, directed and designed entirely by Scouts (Flora & Beckett). A great experience to allow Scouts to explore their creative side!
