Fund Your Ideal Year of Scouting with Trail's End Popcorn Sale                                                             

Wouldn't it be great to participate in all the activities you wanted?  If you could pay for uniforms, awards, and registration without any money coming out of your pocket??

Imagine doing only one fundraiser and being able to fund your entire year of Scouting.  IT IS POSSIBLE.  Commissions from the Trail's End Popcorn Sale enable adult leaders to focus on the program, not on fundraising.  By planning, building a budget and setting sales goals, your unit will be on the way to growing its treasury.  Here is a different way to look at your budget for the year.  The average commission on a container of popcorn was slightly over $5.80* based on past sales.  Using this amount as a guide, here is an interesting new way to look at your apporximate costs in "popcorn containers" of several Scouting items:

Annual Registration fee - 3 containers

Boy's Life Magazine for 1 year - 2 containers

Pinewood Derby Car - 1.5 containers

Boy Scout Summer Camp Fee - 38 containers

Cub Scout Day Camp Fee- 10.5 containers

Sleeping Bag- 15 containers

Boy Scout Handbook - 1.5 containers

Boy Scout Uniform Shirt - 6.5 containers

Average Cub Scout Book - 1.5 containers

Cub Scout Uniform Shiert - 6 containers

Average District Camporee Fee - 3.5 containers

These are just a few sample expenses a unit or scout might budget for in a year.  Each unit has it's own unique activities, so be sure to list them when building your budget.( You can find an Ideal Year budget worksheet on the Trail's End website- www.trails-end.com)
