It’s Popcorn Season Kickoff Time!
It’s time to get ready for another great year of popcorn sales! We are asking all Canyons District units to please consider committing to sell popcorn this year.
Commit Your Unit to Sell
If your unit has not committed yet, please take a few minutes to register through the Trail’s End website or visit:
OCBSA.org/popcorn
Participation in fundraising is an important part of supporting our council. Each district is asked to participate, and our popcorn fundraiser helps keep membership costs down while supporting the activities, programs, and camps our Scouts enjoy throughout the year.
Didn’t Sell Last Year?
If your unit did not participate in popcorn sales last year, Trail’s End is offering an incentive for returning/new participating units!
Please reach out to me for more details. This can be a great opportunity to get your unit started with popcorn this year.
The OCBSA.org/popcorn website will also be updated soon with additional information and resources.
First Popcorn Order – Due July 27
The first round of popcorn orders is open through July 27th.
Distribution/Pickup: August 8th
Location: OC Food Bank
For your first order, I recommend not ordering too much inventory. Start with an amount you feel comfortable selling. There will be two additional opportunities to place orders as the season continues:
- First Order: Now – July 27
- Second Order: August 10 – August 24
- Third Order: August 24 – September 7
This gives your unit plenty of opportunities to adjust your inventory based on how your sales are going.
Popcorn Contacts
An email was sent to current and past Popcorn Kernels, as well as each unit’s Key 3 members.
If someone else will be serving as your unit’s Popcorn Kernel or would be a better contact for popcorn information this year, please let me know so I can make sure they receive future updates.
Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions. I am happy to help your unit get started, answer questions, or provide additional information throughout the popcorn season.
Thank you for supporting Scouting and helping make our programs possible!
Happy Selling!!!
The M&M Duo
