Trails End Popcorn Sale

Each year, the Boy Scouts of America works with Trails End Popcorn to hold a fundraiser for Cub Scout Packs.  Pack 794 participates in this fundraiser, and it is the only fundraiser we do all year.  We will kicked off our sale for 2015 at the first Pack meeting on September 10.

2015 DAC Popcorn Sale


Door-to Door Popcorn Sale

Take the order form that you received from Mr. Foster at the Pack meeting, and go to your neighbors' homes to take their orders.  All orders and money are due on October 15, and pickup for delivery will be on November 7.

Recommended Steps to Follow:

  • Go to a neighbor's house and knock on the door
    • ALWAYS go with a parent
    • NEVER go inside a house, stay on the porch
  • Greet them with your name, Pack, and say:
    • Hi, my name is (insert name), and I am a Cub Scout with Pack 794
    • Would you like to support Cub Scouts by ordering some popcorn?
  • If they say no, then say thank you and go to the next house.
  • If they say yes, then let them look at the form to see what they would like to order
  • If they comment on "high prices", say:
    • Well, most of the cost goes to support local scouting and my Cub Scout Pack
    • The money goes to provide camping and other activities
  • Have them fill out their name, address, and phone number
  • Double check that you marked the correct column on the order form
  • COLLECT THE MONEY when you take the order
    • Cash is good
    • Checks should be made out to "PACK 794"
    • Checks made out to anything else will have to be rewritten
  • Tell them that you will be by to deliver their order after November 7

Sale Incentives

You're not just selling popcorn to support Scouting, you can earn prizes and awards!  You received a prize sheet with your order form, and you can qualify to receive an award by selling above certain amounts as listed on the sheet.  If you see something you want, then that sales level will be your goal to reach!

Also, if you sell $500 of popcorn, your annual dues in February will be covered.

More incentives are shown at the Council website.
