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!
WHY SELL POPCORN
It’s Easy!
The average unit earns a commission of $2,000 to pay for camp, trips, awards, and gear!
It’s Exciting!
Scouts are rewarded with prizes, like Amazon gift cards!
It Equips Youth!
Scouts develop and enhance their sales and interpersonal communication skills!
