Popcorn

2017 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 prizes

  • Any Scout who sells $750.00 in popcorn will be eligible to attend the Cape Fear Council Popcorn Pizza Party at Jungle Rapids

Ways to Sell:

Take Orders Downloadable Order Form

  • The Scout, in uniform with neckerchief and hat, shirts tucked in, along with his Akela goes door to door with a Take Order Form. Take Order Forms will provided during the Popcorn Kickoff
