Popcorn Time! 2025 Edition

Welcome to the 2025 Boy Scout Popcorn Season! Shayna Hart (Bubba’s mom) is coordinating our fundraising effort again this year.

Popcorn Season kicks off in August and lasts until November! Last year we sold $21,282 in popcorn, which provided over $8,840 for our Troop. This year our goal is $12,000! To accomplish this goal, we need all scouts to help. Scouts can sell door to door, online, and at our show and sales.

POPCORN

There are 16 delicious flavors to choose from and we may have some samples at our next meeting. Shayna has popcorn now, so start selling and taking orders!

BROCHURES

Shayna has brochures available now. Contact Shayna if you would like to stop by their house to pick up some brochures. We will also have them at our meetings.

ONLINE ORDERS

Online orders allow friends and family out of town to support your scouting experience. Sellers’ codes remain the same year to year. If you don’t know your code, please contact Shayna and she can provide it to you. Items online may differ from the brochure items. Also, online sales have free shipping, which is a great way to drum up out of town sales.

SHOW & SALES

If you would like to sign up for a show and sale, there will be sign up sheets at our upcoming meetings. (See dates and times below.) We divided all show and sales into 1 hour time slots, but scouts may sign up for more than 1 time slot. Scouts must be in Class A uniform when selling, especially at show and sales. Parents, please plan to stay with your scout while they are selling at any Show & Sales, unless you have made other specific arrangements with an adult leader from the troop. Shayna will provide all needed materials for the Show & Sales, but can only work a few of the booths herself.

DONATIONS

Donations go to support the U.S.O. and scouts receive credit for the donations. Scouts who receive at least $25 in donations in the specific time periods below are awarded a special patch with pins.

• Aug 1 – Aug 20: $25+ in donations will receive the patch and a submarine pin
• Aug 21 – Sept 17: $25+ donations will receive the patch (if not already awarded) and a Coast Guard cutter pin
• Sept 18 – Oct 29: $25+ in donations will receive the patch (if not already awarded) and a helicopter pin
• Oct 30 – Nov 30: $25 in donations will receive the patch (if not already awarded) and a tank pin 

INCENTIVES

This year we are doing incentives a bit different than in years past.  Scouts will earn 20% of their in-person sales and 15% of their online sales in their “scout account” which can be used at the scout’s and parent’s discretion for scout-related expenses. On top of this, scouts will also earn prizes from the council:
