POPCORN 2008: It's Popcorn Time Again!

Show and Sell and Take Order Dates for 2008!

Popcorn helps provide the essential funding that units and the council need to maintain and expand programs for boys - it helps provide the adventures they joined Scouting for. The popcorn sale gives the unit and council camping programs the funding they need to grow and improve. The council's share of the sale is used primarily for camp and program purchases. Program purchases in 2006 include a new Wakeboard boat, 150 new PFDs, new archery equipment for all camps, and much more. 2005 included 70 new canoes and 8 new sailboats added to the fleets at Worth Ranch and Sid Richardson Scout Ranch this summer, a new lighting system for the Camp Tahuaya dining hall, 200 new PFDs, and much more - all purchased with the help of Popcorn funds.

There are two methods to sell popcorn and earn unit funding: the Show-N-Sell in September and the Take Order sale in October. Sales packets are available as you sign up during the Program and Sales Kickoffs. Check with your District Popcorn Kernel or your District Executive for more information! District and Council Popcorn Kernels are planning to repeat last year’s record setting popcorn sale to support our expanding programs. For more information email Kathy at finance@longhorn.org.
