Popcorn
2021 POPCORN SALE
The Popcorn Sale is the official sponsored fundraiser of the Georgia-Carolina council. Popcorn isn't just about raising money. It's also about teaching Scouts to earn their own way, interacting with grown-ups, and being more confident.
A popcorn sale is pretty simple but there are some details that will make the sale a lot smoother for you and your unit. Be sure to share important dates with families in your unit. Any resource or form you can't find on the website, you can email your District Kernel or your District Executive for assistance.
We also have some YouTube videos of Zoom training that Trails-End put on just for our Council. They have been edited and condensed down to make it relevant to the audiance it is intended for. You can find the training videos on this playlist on YouTube. More will be added as they happen and are edited. These videos cover how to use the Trails-End app for store front, wagon sales and online direct (last one comming in July) for Scouts and parents, as well as how the Unit Kernels can use the Trails-End website in conjunction with the the Scout/parent app on mobile devices.
