2018 Popcorn Program
Face it parents: we grew up in a different time. As kids, nothing was handed to us. We either worked or helped to earn our rewards: money, an activity with friends, or something we wanted. Scouting still believes in and stands for the core value of earning!

Benefits to Your Scout and Family:
  • Teaches Scouts the value & process of setting and working toward goals
  • Gives Scouts a strong sense of accomplishment through recognition
  • Enhances communication, leadership skills and confidence in your Scout
  • Scouts can earn valuable rewards including gift cards and prizes
  • Scouts can earn their own way in the scouting program
Benefits to the Pack:

The popcorn sale is Pack 29's sole fundraising for the year.  All of the operations for the pack for an entire year are covered including:
  • Annual Scout Registration Fee
  • Annual Leader Registration Fee
  • Leader Training and Materials
  • Pack Meeting Meals
  • Awards
  • Pinewood Derby Kits
  • Pack Meeting Activities
  • Den Expenses
  • Arrow of Light Ceremony
  • Blue & Gold Banquet
  • Food & Supplies for Campouts
  • Operational Supplies & Equipment (including this website)
  • Popcorn Pie Thowing Event

Sales Minimum:

Each scout is asked to sell $350 worth of popcorn - and they won't have to pay the Pack for anything else for the entire year!  This eliminates "nickel and diming" fees throughout the year.  Concerned about selling this much popcorn?  It's really not too difficult, but if feel free to contact Matt Podemski (cubmaster@pack29auburn.com) for more details.  You can always opt-out of popcorn by writing a check to the Pack for $175.
