Coronado Area Council Popcorn Sales
The Coronado Area Council Popcorn Sale is conducted annually during the fall. This program allows packs, troops, teams, and crews the opportunity to participate in a coordinated council-wide fundraiser. Trainings are held in August with the active sales period from late September to end of October.
Last year, over $750,000 of popcorn was sold with close to $500,000 of that amount used to support both local and council programs. Thousands of Scouts benefited from the sale either by earning prizes, participating in local unit programs, or through our council camping programs as popcorn help fund their year of Scouting. Many Scouts also qualified for scholarships and other bonus awards.
Plan to particpate in this year's sale by contacting Wayne Pancoast, staff advisor.
On Line Ordering of Popcorn
You may get questions from your Scouts and families about how to order popcorn on line. Orderpopcorn.com is a feature of Trails End that allow a Scout to send an order key to family that is out of town so they can order popcorn and have it shipped to them saving the family shipping costs. Historically, it was not an easy process but this year, Trails End has made great advancements in its delivery and service.
Ordering on line is easy! The potential is unlimited. If each family were to email 5 people they know that live out of town, just think how many more orders your unit could receive? Think about how much this will help in the delivery of your program.
