2022 Popcorn Fundraiser
The 2022 Popcorn Fundraiser is now underway. There are three different ways to help your scout get the most out of this years fundraiser. See the three different options below.
Take-Order Form
Everyone should be familiar with the take-order form as this is the most common way to complete orders. You should have received the take-order form already. If you have not, you can print one out using the link below.

Online Sales
Another way of selling popcorn is a using the online option. With the online option you can send out a link to your scouts online sales market. This allows you to reach out to friends and family who may live out of state. There is also a larger selection goods for them to purchase in the online store. Another great thing is that you do not have to deal with money or meeting up with them to give the popcorn. They would pay online using a credit/debit card and the popcorn will be delivered directly to their home.
Show-N-Sell
The final option for selling popcorn is the Show-N-Sell option. This option requires that the scouts get out in front of people use communication skills to sell popcorn in front of store fronts. We have some pre-ordered popcorn that you would use to sell. Below is a sign up genius with locations and times of when you can sign up to sell popcorn. If you are interested in doing a Show-N-Sell please reach out to Justin Anderson at anderson.justin38@gmail.com
