The Trail's End popcorn fundraiser is the primary way we raise money for the pack. The proceeds from the fundraiser are used to pay for all of the expenses of the pack. So, go out and Do Your Best! By selling popcorn, you'll be raising money for raingutter regatta boats, pinewood derby cars, and much more. And, you can will great prizes. 

October 1st begins popcorn sales for our pack. Make sure to read over all the information! The last den meeting to turn in forms and money is Thursday, October 20th. If you don't turn in the forms at the den meeting, then you must return them to Julie Banowetz, at her house, by Sunday, October 23rd. Please call Julie first to make sure she is available to collect the forms and money.

The Popcorn Selling Instructions, Popcorn Sale Summary, Popcorn Product Brochure, Take Order Form, Sales Receipts, and Military Receipt Form are available in the Resource Center in the Popcorn folder. 

Check out the Greater St. Louis Area Council Popcorn page for more information.

FAQ:

How much do I have to sale? 

As much as you can, but we are asking each scout to sale a minimum of $180 in Trail's End products. If you do not wish to sell popcorn, then there is a $60 buyout option available. If you select the buyout option, then bring your $60 check to Julie at the October 20th den meetings. Note:  Families who choose this option should be aware that to get the Popcorn Patch a scout must sell at least one item of popcorn.

How do I collect the money for the popcorn?

Money must be collected in advance, and turned in with your order form. Have checks made payable to Calvary Church.  When you turn in your order, cash must be converted to a check.  If you collect cash from your customers, then convert the cash to either a personal check or money order.

Can I accept cash donations instead of selling popcorn?

Yes, if donations are offered, then scouts can accept cash donations. The cash donation will apply to the minumum sales, but will not count toward the Trail's End prizes.

How can I sell popcorn online?

Online selling is a great way to sell to faraway friends and family. It's easy! Scouts create their own accounts on scouts.trails-end.com to sell online. All online sales through the council's sale end date count toward Scout Rewards from our council and Trails' End. No deliveries! Trail's End ships the product directly to the consumers.

If your scout sells enough popcorn to qualify for council sponsored summer camp, then the unit will issue a voucher for the amount indicated on the Summer Camp Selling form. Note: If your son does not meet the council amount for free summer camp, then the amount listed on the chart can only be used for age appropriate summer camp. 

No, Calvary Church policy prohibits selling fundraising items on church property.  Please abide by this policy and do not bring your order forms to church.
