Popcorn Fundraiser

Pack 271 participates in the Trails End Popcorn Fundraiser each fall. 70% of popcorn sales go to our unit and council. Thank you to all of our friends, family, and supporters that have purchased popcorn or contributed to this fundraiser this year.

You can still order popcorn online anytime of the year (you can change the scout you support to anyone by searching for his name or using his provided ID).

Why do we sell popcorn?

To support scouting, and specifically, to support our pack. Popcorn is the primary source of funding to keep Cub Scouting going. Over 70% of the money we raise is returned to our district to support local scout units and the local council.

What does it pay for at pack 271?

Charter fees, den supplies, derby cars and regatta boats, badges, awards, trophies, go-see-its, pack events, leader training, the blue and gold banquet, and other expenses...

Does my scout need to sell?

Popcorn is the ONLY annual fundraiser that pack 271 performs. Without popcorn, there are no funds to run the pack, and the den and pack leaders already donate heavily of their time and resources. If you or your scout are uncomfortable selling door to door, that's certainly fine. Other options include SHOW AND SELL, ONLINE SALES, and SELLING AT WORK. Our pack budget was drawn up under the assumption of each scout selling $300.00 worth of Trails End Popcorn during this event. However, a $100 donation on behalf of the scout will also have the same impact on the pack budget, although the scout will not earn points towards the Trails End prizes.
