The last few weeks our Scouts have been busy selling popcorn at storefronts.

If you have not already done so, please log into your Trails End account and update your scouts information.

Please go in and sign your Scout up for a 2 hour storefront slot. It is an easy way to get sales to offset your fees that are due for the 2024-2025 scouting year. Once you have signed up please text or email Lisa Perrault (630-632-1466, lperrault619@gmail.com) to arrange a date and time for you to pick up popcorn and supplies for your storefront.

Pack 801 gives scouts the opportunity to offset your Scout's Activity Fee and reimburse your Recharter Fee. This year, our Pack’s Activity Fee is $150. Selling popcorn can reduce that fee. Here is a fee breakdown.

Sell $1200 in popcorn, Activity fee is $0, and you will be reimbursed for Recharter!
Sell $600 in popcorn, Activity fee is $0
Sell $450 in popcorn, Activity fee is $40
Sell $300 in popcorn, Activity fee is $80
Sell $150 in popcorn, Activity fee is $120

I have uploaded additional documents regarding popcorn sales and rewards on the website for you to review.

Please reach out to Lisa if you have any additional questions.

(Don't forget it is an HOUR later there as they are on Eastern time zone). Siblings are welcome to attend!

This is an opportunity for us to raise funds for the pack and the council.

Your scout can sell to family, friends, neighbors and they are able to sell at a store front.

Selling popcorn can help offset some of the fees that are required for cub scouts. Your scout will also earn reward points for all sales which will be distributed as Amazon gift cards.
