Introduction to the Popcorn Program

Fundraising for the Pack is important to Scouting, not only for the exceptional programs it allows, but also the life skills it teaches your Scout like goal setting, public speaking, and self-motivation.

 

Popcorn sales are the sole annual fundraiser for Pack 545. The Pack requires a modest annual dues to cover registration of the Scouts.  Scouts earn 25% from sales and can be used to cover scouting activities like summer camp, sleepover, or even scouting uniforms. The Pack also earns 5-12% from sales. This keeps costs for parents down while enabling a fantastic program for the Scouts throughout the year.

Additional benefits of selling popcorn include:

There are NO up-front costs to the Pack or to parents!

A built-in prize program to support the Unit and individual Scout goals!

 

Participating in the Popcorn Program can complete requirements for rank advancement!

Popcorn is supported by the local community!


MOST IMPORTANTLY, participating in the Popcorn Program teaches Scouts the value of earning their own way, setting goals, and supporting their unit program budget. This is an essential part of the character development learned through Scouting!
