Information for Parents related to Popcorn sales

  • PDF of Sell Sheet can be found here
  • ​1/3 of the price of popcorn goes to Pack 87, 1/3 goes to BSA, and 1/3 goes to trails-end
  • We pay for all our pack activities with popcorn sales money so we rely on everyone participating

Show & Sells

Show and sells occur on Sat/Sun during September and October. Scouts sign up for 2 hour slots. We divide all Show & Sell sales based on hours served, not sales made. This avoids imbalanced sales traffic.​
