Get ready to fund your Scouting activities and support our council!

Each Scout in Troop 202 is expected to support the annual popcorn sale by selling at least $200 of popcorn products. Sales may be done door to door, to friends and family, online, at a local venue of your choosing (with permission from the property owner or event manager), or at Troop 202 group selling venues. Donations for military also count toward the sales total. 

If a Scout does not sell at least $200 of popcorn, the cost of registering for the next calendar year is higher by $80.

Scouts who sell popcorn earn funds to pay for their Scouting activities.

• The overall commission for popcorn is typically around 32¢ to 36¢ per dollar of sales, depending on the total amount sold by the troop.

• A commission is not earned on the first $200 of sales, but the fundraising obligation is met, and the $80 fundraising fee is avoided.

• The split of profit between the Scout and Troop 202 is 50/50 for the next $100 of popcorn sold (up to a total of $300).

• As an extra incentive for higher sales, the Scout's profit split increases with sales volume. For amounts from $301 to $400, the Scout keeps 60%.  For amounts over $400, the Scout keeps 70% of the commission.

• Example: A Scout sells $700 of popcorn and the annual commission is 32%. The Scout earns $0 on the first $200 of sales, $16 on the next $100 of sales, $19 on the next $100 of sales, and $67 on the last $300 of sales, for a total of $102 to his Scout account.
