Popcorn Sales
Generate enough income to financially support your Scouting program.
Selling popcorn is not only a great way to raise money for your group but also the perfect opportunity for you to learn the value of earning your own way and help you develop confidence in your presentation. More than 70% of the popcorn sales support your programs and local Scouting!
Popcorn sales can generate enough income to financially support your Scouting program for the entire year financially! Money made from the popcorn sale is used to cover the cost of camporees, pinewood derby races, field trips, equipment, badges, registration fees, advancement, and summer camp.
Remember: selling popcorn is not only about raising money, but representing BSA program, so wear your uniform with pride and conduct yourself accordingly.
The 50 States Club is a popcorn sellers challenge created to extend the reach of your Scouts popcorn sale and have a little fun while doing it!
NOTE: All popcorn sales for this challenge must be made ONLINE – in person sales do not count towards the challenge.
