Our PACK 97 Annual Popcorn Fundraiser is an integral part of our success because 70% of the funds raised are returned directly to PACK 97 and Capital Area Council. The money raised by our Scouts helps to fund our Unit’s program in many ways including the purchase of neckerchiefs, handbooks, adventure belt loops, Pinewood Derby kits, rank patches, and much more.
As a member of PACK 97, all Scouts (except Lions) are expected to participate in the Popcorn Fundraiser either by actively selling popcorn, or submitting the opt-out fee. In addition to Popcorn, there is a great option within the Trails End App to purchase a Military donation that does count toward the Scout sales goal. Selling to friends, family, and neighbors offers our Scouts a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable leadership and communication skills. Plus, top selling Scouts can earn cool prizes provided by PACK 97 and our Area Council! https://www.bsacac.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/2023-Bonus-Prizes-flyer-1.pdf
2024 Popcorn Sales Goal Per Scout: $330
2024 Opt-out Fee: $124

Popcorn Fundraiser – 2024 RULES OF THE ROAD
RULE #1: All popcorn sales will be entered into the Trails End App and will require a credit card for all sales. We do not recommend doing “Wagon Sales/Door-to-Door Sales.” PACK 97 has NO popcorn inventory on hand to fulfill Wagon Sales.
RULE #2: Register your Scout on the Trails End App
–If your Scout has sold online in the past, you already have a Trails End account.
–If your Scout does not currently have an account, please register using the following link: https://www.trails-end.com/registration.
Key information needed when registering:
- Council: Capital Area Council
- District: Chisholm Trail
- Unit: Pack 0097
The Trails End App is quite user-friendly and has lots of fun tools on the dashboard to help your Scout manage their sales.
–Scouts can input sales and credit card information directly into the app.
–Scouts will have the ability to send the link to their Trails End personal page to friends, family, and neighbors for ease of ordering.
