Popcorn Resources

Every Scout should learn the value of hard work and earning their own way. The popcorn sale is the perfect opportunity to teach this valuable life lesson and fund the most exciting year of Scouting ever. Over 70% of the popcorn sale supports your programs and local Scouting! 

Scouts gain confidence, salesmanship and communication skills, and a sense of accomplishment. The popcorn sale is not just about selling popcorn; it’s also about promoting Scouting and the Scouting ideals!

 

How to Sell Popcorn

There are three different ways to sell Popcorn as a unit.

Show and Sell

Show and sell is a direct sale that takes place outside of a local business, where Scouts interact directly with community members and encourage them to buy popcorn. We have partnered with the Trails End Popcorn company who has pre-booked thousands of hours of show n sell locations for your Pack, Troop or Crew.  

Online Sales

Online sales are always available and can be used to raise funds for your unit no matter where the customer is located. Just go to CampMaster.com and register for your Scout's personal Online Selling Page or log in and update your Scout's personal information if you have sold Popcorn Online before.

Take Order

If your unit is engaging in a Take Order Sale, you will need to download popcorn take order forms for Popcorn 2026 for you to distribute to your Scouts to sell popcorn via this method.
