2025 Popcorn Theme: Harry Potter

Wands at the ready, young witches and wizards! This year’s popcorn campaign is no ordinary fundraiser – it’s a magical quest worthy of the finest at Hogwarts. As Scouts, you’re not merely selling popcorn – you’re embarking on an enchanted mission to fund the grand adventures of your house (or unit, if you’re a muggle)!

You’re not just raising funds – you’re conjuring success, brewing camaraderie, and turning your unit into a legendary fellowship worthy of the Triwizard Tournament. So don your robes, steady your broomsticks, and aim higher than a Firebolt on a Quidditch pitch. This year, let’s make your popcorn sales more magical than a feast in the Great Hall. Accio success!
