Popcorn

Every Scout should learn the value of hard work and earning their way. The popcorn sale is the perfect opportunity to teach this valuable life lesson and fund the most exciting year of Scouting. Over 70% of the popcorn sale supports your programs and local Scouting! 

Scouts gain confidence, salesmanship, communication skills, and a sense of accomplishment. The popcorn sale is not just about selling popcorn; it’s also about promoting Scouting and the Scouting ideals!
