Popcorn Sales
This is the kick off of Popcorn Sales for our Kenilworth Pack 13 Scouts!!!
This is the biggest fundraiser of the year for our Scouts and goes towards raising money for the organization as a whole and for Pack 13. This is an optional but highly encouraged activity as it provides a major source of funding for our pack and council.
The Cub Scouts sell popcorn in the fall with 1/3 the money going to the pack and another 1/3 going to our local council. The council runs a variety of events that can be found at: https://neic.ihub.app/posts/34213/events
Incentives:
- The Council runs several contests through the season with prizes for top sellers. (Through the end of the month of September the Council is running a contest with the top five sellers receive a gift basket). I will forward additional contests to pack as I hear of them.
- Trails-End offers Amazon gift cards after varying sales levels.
- Everyone in our pack who sells over $250 will be invited to an ice cream party at Homer’s.
- The top three sellers in our pack will also be recognized at one of the Pack Nights with an award.
Sales:
Our sales period runs from now until Fall Pack Night (November 3rd)
