Popcorn!
Tips and tricks for a successful popcorn fundraiser.
Popcorn is the main fundraiser for Scouting Colorado, and is designed to help Units fund their program year. Pack 545 does not require Cub Scouts to raise popcorn funds, however, those Scouts who do participate earn 25% of their total sales placed into a “Cub Account.” These funds can be used to help offset next year’s dues, buy uniforms, or pay for registration fees associated with summer camps and Scouting activities – utilization of your funds are at your/Scout’s discretion.
Incentives
To further enhance the fundraising season, both Scouting Colorado Council and Pack 545 have incentives to help Scouts work towards goals and get celebrated along the way.IncentivesPopcorn, pizza, pies, and prizes! This year’s incentives include:
Complete 1 store front sale: the scout earns a rocket kit to be launched during end of year celebration (Pack incentive)
Sell $250: Pizza party at Ark Ninja (Pack incentive)
Sell $300: Minecraft light (Council incentive)
Sell $500: Pie a Cub Scout Leader (Pack incentive)
Sell $600: Scouting camping shovel (Council incentive)
Sell $750: Glass Ornament Class (Pack incentive)
Sell $1,000: Partner Organization Tickets*
*more details to be released later (Council incentive)
Sell $1,200: Sleepover at Colorado Adventure Point (Pack incentive)How do I start?
How can my Scout prepare?
Encourage your Scout to create a fundraising goal to work towards. Whether that goal is a specific dollar amount, an experience like summer camp, or one of the many incentives, having a goal to share with potential donors can also get them excited to support.
Trail’s End created short videos to prepare Scouts for popcorn season. The Pack 545 website has the training videos located at the bottom of the popcorn page for your convenience.If you need further details about Popcorn, please email Popcorn Kernel Nevin Gallagher at popcorn@pack545.com.

Summertime Fun
The National Summertime Pack Award has been reimagined into an elective Adventure named Summertime Fun. This new Adventure may be one of the simplest Adventures, it has one requirement and that is: anytime during May through August participate in a total of three Cub Scout activities.
The new Summertime Fun elective Adventure is available for Tiger through Arrow of Light. Lions do not begin Cub Scouting until they are attending Kindergarten in the fall so there are no summertime activities for Lions.
Only attend 3 activities this summer and my Scout earns it? Yep! It’s that easy. Attend any activity listed in this newsletter and you have already completed an activity. Or if you feel like your Scout did a family “scouting” activity (like camping, fishing, hiking, etc) we will count that too!
We ask families to keep track of your activities. In August, you’ll see an item in the newsletter to “log” your activities that your Scout completed. We will record this for your Scout and they will be given their Summertime Fun Award at the September or October Pack Meeting.
Get out there and have fun!!!!!
