Every Scout should learn the value of hard work and earning their own way. The popcorn sale is the perfect opportunity to teach this valuable life lesson and fund the most exciting year of Scouting ever. More than 70% of the popcorn sale supports your programs and local Scouting! The Great Falls Council does all the pre-work to set up the sale, eliminating the need for your unit to research opportunities, calculate returns, create sales and promotional materials, manage a relationship with a vendor, and more.
The popcorn sale is not just about selling popcorn…It’s also about promoting Scouting!

Popcorn Selling Options
Take Order
A Scout goes door to door with a take order form with a parent or a buddy, the customer writes their order on the form, the Scout returns to deliver the product and collect payment in a few weeks. Remember always to say “thank you” to the person purchasing the popcorn.
Show-N-Sell
The unit works as a team at a location(s) to show their products and to make immediate sales after getting permission to sell in front of a business, storefront, or other location.
Online
Allows Scouts to sell online to family and friends. There is an online account available for each individual unit and/or for each individual Scout. Sales generated online qualifies toward Scout Rewards and scholarship credit.
**Note: All Popcorn & Prize Orders MUST be placed using the Online Ordering System**
