It’s almost Popcorn Time! The countdown is on.
Our Annual Popcorn Sale is our largest fundraising event of the year. The success of our Popcorn campaign helps to deliver quality programming at every level of Scouting! This fundraiser is for ALL our scouts and Units. If you have not sold before or in a long time you might want to join the fun this season.
Our Popcorn Committee, staff, and Trails End have worked in the off-season to help improve our sale for this season. Popcorn Kernels please connect with us on social media, make sure to read our E-blasts starting this Summer, join us for our Kickoff Event this August 1st, and know that there is a team ready to help YOU have a great sale. Thank you for making time in your busy schedules to support our Popcorn program, our scouts, and make a local impact!
All sales from Wednesday, August 14th, 2026 (online and in-person) through Wednesday, November 4, 2026, count towards prizes for 2026! For more information regarding prizes, our Championship Dinner, and our weekly achievements please refer to our Kernel Guide or speak with your Unit Kernel.
