Cub Scouts Popcorn Fundraiser is available on the Trail’s End App

Trail’s End Popcorn is our main fund-raising source that helps our Pack do all that we do. This allows the Pack to pay for books, advancements, pinewood derby cars, rain gutter regatta boats and park pavilions for pack meetings, just to name a few. Did you know, in addition to popcorn for sale, there is also chocolate for sale?   And…the Scouts can also be supported with a donation to the American Heroes fund.

IT PAYS TO SELL!!!

We are asking all scouts to sell an amount of $425 of popcorn.  This will greatly aid the Pack as well as your individual Scout. If your scout sells $425 in popcorn, the profit earned would pay for their dues for next year. Dues for 2021 will need to be paid late November 2020. If your popcorn sales are $425 or greater, then you will not owe any money at this time. Your Scout can also use the funds raised to pay for Resident Camp, Day Camp, or even reimbursements for uniforms and items purchased at the Scout Shop.

Please note: All sales must be entered into the Trail’s End app for your scout and our Pack to receive credit. To set up your Trail’s End account and start selling popcorn, follow the directions below.

There are two ways to participate in the fundraising sales:

• Your scout can do Door-to-door sales with a parent or another scout.  
• We have online sales (no shipping cost for orders over $30) – This is great for family members that live far away, but can also be used for neighborhood sales.

Scouts MUST be in uniform to sell popcorn if they choose to sell door to door. 

To make an online sale:

1. On the bottom of the app…click “ONLINE”
2. Click “Start Sale”
3. Tap the item your customer wants to buy to increase the quantity.
4. Click “CHECKOUT”
5. You can now either share the order with your customer so that they can pay on their own device, or enter their payment information in manually.
   To share, click the backwards arrow with three dots to share via mobile number.
   To enter manually…enter name, email, phone, shipping address, city, state & zip code…then hit checkout. Then enter the customer’s credit card information, zip code and 3 digit security code.
6. The customer will receive an email about their order, as well as one when the order ships. Their order will be shipped directly to the customer.

PLEASE NOTE:  We are encouraging customers to use their own credit card to pay for their order. However, if a customer wants to pay cash/check, you must have them make the check out to you.
You will then have to enter their order into the Trail’s End app, including their address, but use your credit card to pay for their ordered items.
