There are many different activities in Scouting: summer camp, day camp, pinewood derby, jamborees, camping and other outdoor trips, and so much more! To help pay for these activities, Scouts can raise money through a variety of different fundraisers. Money earned from different fundraisers can also help pay for supplies they need, such as their Scout advancement badges. Annual Popcorn Sale Fundraiser Scouts BSA’s popcorn sale is made exclusively for sale by Trails End. It’s our largest annual fundraiser that runs mid-August through November. Purchasing popcorn outside of a retail store (show-and-sell) or ordering popcorn (take-order), is the easiest way to help units raise money. Over 70% of all sales dollars remain here to support our Scouts at the council and the unit level. The Scouts sell popcorn a variety of ways: Online Take home pre-order forms At store site sales such as QFC or Safeway. The 2016 Popcorn Sale Is Now Over! Thank you to all the Scouts and parents who participated and worked so hard to meet our 2016-2017 fundraising goal! And thank you to all the family, friends and community members who supported Scouting this year! We truly appreciate all that you’ve done for the Scouts and they will benefit from your support for years to come!
