Why Should We Sell Popcorn? |
The answer is simple: No upfront costs and the full support of the Indian Waters Council to make your campaign a success! Selling popcorn isn’t just about the product — it’s about supporting Scouting. Every purchase is a donation that directly benefits your Scout and When you share how the funds will be used — like going to camp, a big adventure, or leadership training — customers love knowing their purchase is Participating in the popcorn sale is more than just fundraising — it’s a chance for Scouts to learn essential life skills, set goals, and grow as leaders. Join us in making this year’s popcorn sale an exciting adventure for your unit and a boost for Scouting in our community! |
