Popcorn Fundraising
Why Fundraise?
Our pack participates in one fundraiser each fall: BSA’s national Trails End Popcorn program. Money raised from this effort keeps the cost of events lower year-round, and our Scouts have a lot of fun doing it—earning rewards for their efforts along the way.
Why we sell popcorn…
This fundraiser generates income for the majority of our pack operating budget.
Money earned from popcorn subsidizes the cost of materials for pack and den activities and is used to purchase and maintain pack equipment.
Popcorn money also supports our local council which provides campgrounds, program support, summer camps, leader training, and administrative staff.
Over 70% of total revenues from popcorn sales stays local to our pack and council. In 2022 Pack 308 scouts sold over $4700 in popcorn, then in 2023 theys old over $5100! Let's see if we can top it this year...
How you can help
Empowering our scouts to take charge, we offer a range of engaging opportunities:
Scheduled Booths: Keep an eye out for the upcoming schedule, as scouts can sign up to work at designated booths, interacting with the community and showcasing our popcorn selections. This will be listed on the Trails End website and app.
Wagon Sales: Scouts have the chance to venture into their neighborhoods with popcorn in tow, spreading joy and raising funds along the way.
Personalized Online Stores: In the digital age, our scouts can embrace technology by creating their very own online popcorn stores, reaching a wider audience while honing valuable entrepreneurial skills.
We are thrilled about the potential this fundraiser holds and the positive impact it will have on our scouting adventures. Your support not only contributes to our pack's success but also empowers our scouts to grow, learn, and lead.
