The annual Trails End Popcorn Fundraiser is one of the best ways for Scouts to earn their way and fund the adventures ahead. Running from summer through late November, the sale gives every Scout the opportunity to develop real-world skills in sales, digital marketing, and fiscal responsibility while raising money for the activities that make Scouting unforgettable.
Questions?
Connect with your District Executive or refer to the Leaders Guide for everything you need to run a successful Camp Card sale.
There will be no product returns this year. If your unit has excess inventory, contact your District Popcorn Kernel about opportunities to transfer inventory to other units. Please plan your orders carefully and do not rely on transfers as a strategy.
Attend a kickoff and your unit earns an extra 1% commission on all 2026 sales! Kickoffs also include tips and tricks, Trail’s End portal and app tutorials, and guidance on accepting digital and credit card payments with no fees.
