Popcorn Sale

Boys everywhere need a helping hand, a lift up, and your purchase of popcorn gives them the boost they need. More than 70% of your purchase goes to help boys in your local Scout Council. It pays for the activities they do, the camps they attend, and for necessary equipment.

Each Scout is responsible, along with his family, for raising money for his Pack or Troop. Your assistance through your popcorn purchase is appreciated very much.

Thank you for your continued support of Scouting.

• Remember 70% of our profits stay local, and help pay for the scouts' badges and activities.
• Our goal is to have each scout fill at last one order form. If they achieve this goal, they will receive a special patch.
• As added incentive, if a scout fills an order form, they will get to throw a pie in the face of one of our new Tiger Cub Leaders!!!!
