Popcorn Sales

Popcorn

Pack 3371 participates in the annual Scout Popcorn Sales every Fall. This is our only fundraiser; we earn our budget for the entire year during this period. We make this a big effort so that we (both leaders and scouts) don't have to spend time fundraising during the rest of the year. Popcorn pays for everything we do - the patches and awards the boys earn, the outings we go on as a pack, and the supplies for the Pack and Den meetings. All of our Scouts are encouraged to sell, and the Pack, the Council, and Trail's End (the company the makes the popcorn for the Boy Scouts) all offer prizes and incentives for the boys. (See below for prize details.)

Questions customers may ask

When will I get my popcorn?
Popcorn will be delivered between November 18th and December 6th. (If you know what specific days you plan to make your deliveries, you can tell them those days.)
 
Do I need to pay for it now?
While you can pay for it now, payment is not required until the time of delivery. We accept cash, and checks made payable to "Pack 3371".
 
I don't want any popcorn, but I want to help. Can I make a donation?
Absolutely! Again, we accept cash, and checks made payable to "Pack 3371". (Make sure you get a name and address for people making donations, so that we can send them a receipt for tax purposes.)
 
How does popcorn selling help your pack?
Popcorn sales pay for our entire Scout program for the season. This includes supplies, outings, and awards.
