You will be receiving your popcorn information the week of Sept 1 in the mail. Your Scout can immediately begin selling popcorn. If you need more order forms you can download them here or see the Popcorn Kernel at the next troop meeting. Please encourage your scout to participate because this is a big fundraiser for your scout. Almost 70% of the purchase price stays local to help them. About one-third of the profit from the sales goes to the scout's Troop Scout account, while the other percentages go to prizes and to the different services such as quality training for leaders, safe campgrounds, rank advancements and much more. Troop 31 Scouts earn dollars for summer camp costs, high adventure outings, monthly campouts, etc.

Scouts can begin selling immediately. Take a few minutes to go over the safety rules with your scout. This is the most important feature of any project your scout does in scouting!

Scouts earn prizes for selling popcorn based upon the dollar amount sold. A description of the prizes available is included and your scout will earn one prize depending on the amount of popcorn sold. The Scout chooses a gift from the prize level at or below his dollar amount.

Important Dates:

More information will be available at September Troop meetings. Please let the Popcorn Kernel know if you have any questions or need additional selling materials. Remember -the more popcorn you sell, the more cash that will be deposited in your scout account!

All checks should be made payable to Troop 31. Also, no popcorn should be left until it is paid for. All money is due to the Troop by the 1st Troop Meeting in December. Please make sure all money is accounted for.

Please encourage your scout to participate in this worthwhile cause. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the Popcorn Kernel.
