The Pack uses Popcorn Sales as a resource to help offset the cost of Scouting for our families.
We use Trail's End popcorn because:
- The return per item to the pack is greater than with other fundraisers.
33% goes to council 33% goes to the PACK.
- People know Trail's End is associated with Scouting. It brings back memories of when they were scouts.
- It is a set time of year each year, and we don't coordinate a new large fundraiser ourselves.
- It brings in MUCH more than restaurant fundraisers.
