FINAL SALES RANKINGS FOR 2025
Each year, the Northern Lights Council sponsors a Trail’s End Popcorn Sale to raise money for local Scouting programs and activities. The annual product sales of the Northern Lights Council provide a unique fundraising opportunity for Scouting units to raise funds to provide a quality Scouting experience for their Scouts and families. Annually, the Council provides units with opportunities to participate in the fall Popcorn Sale and spring product sale. Why sell popcorn?
- Increase your unit and council income
- Pay for your entire annual Scouting program (camps, registration, and more)
- Scouts learn life lessons by “earning their own way”
- The prize program motivates Scouts
- Cool new incentives for Scouts who sell
- For additional revenue, sell online to friends and family out of town
Potential Council Prizes for Scouts!
