It funds the pack:

Our fall fundraisers are important to the operation of our Pack, as they provide around 66% of our operating budget.  Each Scout is asked to sell $250 in popcorn and wreaths combined ($350 for families). Historically, we have had great success with this fundraiser, allowing us to operate without asking for additional dues beyond the yearly registration.

It teaches life skills:

More important than money, Scouts learn MANY life skills by selling Wreaths and Popcorn including:

• Learning to Set Goals

• Building Communication Skills

• Learning to Handle Rejection

• Building Self-Confidence

YOUR Scout earns money!:

AFTER the scout has reached the $250/$350 threshold, the Scout will earn 20% of all additional sales, which will be placed in their “Scout Account” which can be used to pay for dues, camp fees, camping gear, or other things which are scout related.  For example, selling $500 will earn the scout $50 for their personal use.

It pays for camp:

Popcorn sales are the OFFICIAL Scout Fundraiser for our Council.  73% of the proceeds stay LOCAL, either within our Pack, or within our Council, funding local camps, staff, and operations.
