The Benefits of Selling Popcorn!

  1. NO RISK! There are no upfront costs; you only pay for what you sell!
  2. The Council accepts returns. We take back what you can’t sell.
    • Returns will not be accepted after the deadline, and the Unit will be charged for the items.
    • We encourage you to return your extra product early so it can be distributed to other units that need it. 
    • *Note that since this is a food product, the Council cannot return any product to the manufacturer. Please be courteous when ordering products.
  3. You’ll be able to fund your Scouting adventures all year long.
  4. Competitive commission structure. 
  5. An online sales platform allows 24/7 availability nationwide, and products are shipped directly to the customer (direct-to-consumer).
  6. Prizes! The Council pays for Scout prizes and bonuses, while Camp Masters provide additional incentives. Scouts only need to sell 1 item to earn a prize.
    • Units can also opt out of the prize program and earn 40% commission. However, the entire Unit must opt out, and no Scout receives the Council Prizes
  7. Opportunity to support our Military with multiple donation options.
