2025 Popcorn Fundraiser

• Our Pack works really hard to make this fundraiser accessible for all families, so please reach out if you have concerns.

• If you decide that you are unable to participate in this fundraiser and decide to "opt out", you will be responsible to work with the Committee to cover the Pack Dues, National and Council Fees on a schedule that works for all of us.

• Unfortunately, you will not be eligible for the benefits of reaching the Pack Goal / "Pack Effect" or any of the incentives and rewards.

•  In the unlikely (but still possible) event that we don't reach the "Pack Effect" goal, that's OK! Our Pack always does its best, and we will continue to be proud of all our efforts.

• If you participate in the fundraiser, you will receive ~35% commission on whatever funds your Scout raised. That commission will be deducted from your dues and Council/National fees.

• The Pack Committee will work with your family to determine a payment schedule and/or financial aid to pay the balance.

The fundraiser starts in late August and runs through October.

To be eligible to receive the benefits of the "Pack Effect" regardless of individual sales goals, each Scout is expected to participate in any TWO of the following (can mix, match, or duplicate):

• 2 hours (1 shift) of Solo Storefront Shift

• 4 hours (2 shifts) of Split Storefront Shift

• 20 Wagon or Online sales

Example:

• ✅ ✅ Scout participates in 4 hours (2 shifts) of Solo Storefront Shift

Example:

• ✅ Scout participates in 2 hours (1 shift) of Solo Storefront Shift

• ✅ Scout completes 20 Wagon Sales

Example:

• ✅ ✅ Scout participates in 8 hours (4 shifts) of Split Storefront Shift

Example:

• ✅ Scout participates in 4 hours (2 shifts) of Split Storefront Shift

• ✅ Scout participates in 2 hours (1 shift) of Solo Storefront Shift

Example:

• ✅ ✅ Scout completes 40 Wagon or Online Sales

A Solo Storefront Shift is a shift where only ONE Scout is signed up to run. This offers the best ROI for our Pack and our families.

A Split Storefront Shift is a shift where TWO Scouts are signed up to run. This option is good for new, younger, shy Scouts or siblings to have support but does not typically increase ROI for the Pack or families.

• A Scout is Helpful! Every Scout that exceeds $1500 helps offset the cost for other Scouts who will not reach that goal. As a thank you, our Pack rewards Scouts going above and beyond with Scout Dollars.

• Scout Dollars are Pack funds set aside just for you that you can use on any Scout-related supplies or activities.

Once you earn Scout Dollars, you can use them to be reimbursed for any Scout-related supplies or activities like:

• • Scouting activities outside the Pack Program (Scout Day sports events, museum Scout activities, Scout summer camps)

  • Uniforms

  • Anything from the Scout Shop

  • Camping and hiking supplies

  • Pinewood Derby accessories

When you receive Scout Dollars, you will receive an email with information on how to redeem. The basic steps are:

1. Make a purchase for a Scout-related item.

2. Submit an entry for reimbursement in the amount of your earned Scout Dollars with a copy of the receipt here.

Scout Dollars must be used within the 2025-2026 Program Year and cannot be rolled over. Any unused Scout Dollars will be added back to the Pack Account on August 31, 2026.
