Why Sell Popcorn?
For an organization to run, it must have funds. Scouting is an expensive undertaking with many, many activities. Many scouting organizations require monthly or yearly dues. Pack 29 chooses to have the scouts pay their own way instead! If you sell your minimum of popcorn ($300/scout), you won't have to pay any dues for any of the pack activities. There are several activities offered by the district and council that are not covered, but here is a list of items covered by sales of popcorn:
- Annual scout registration fee
- Annual leader registration fee
- Leader training and materials
- Pack meeting meals
- Awards
- Pinewood Derby kits
- Family Camp meals
- Pack meeting activities
- Den expenses
- Arrow of Light Ceremony
- Operational supplies and equipment (including this website)
- Blue & Gold Banquet
- Popcorn Pie Throwing Event
- Even more!
