Popcorn Fundraiser

🍿 Pecatonica River Popcorn Fundraiser

The popcorn fundraiser is our main pack fundraiser each year—and it’s a great way to make Cub Scouts affordable for your family.

🎯 Two Options for Families to Cover the Pack Dues

Sell Popcorn to cover the full $130 in Pack dues
"Buy-Out Option: Pay $130 directly in 2 payments if you choose not to sell. See next section titled Popcorn Fundraiser Buy-Out Option

Selling popcorn is encouraged and supports not only your scout but also the entire Pack's activities and awards.
✅ Around 20 containers of popcorn is all it takes to cover pack dues for the year.

🚪 Ways to Sell

Scouts can choose how they want to sell popcorn:
- 🛍️ Storefront Show & Sell booths (Show & Sells)
- 📦 Take-order forms
- 💻 Online sales via Pecatonica River Popcorn platform
Funds raised go directly to supporting the entire pack

🏪 Storefront Sales: The Easiest Way to Reach Your Goal

Our Pack organizes Show & Sell events at local businesses in Wichita Falls and Burkburnett. This is a simple and effective way to reach your sales target.

How it works:

Sign up for a time slot
Show up with your scout in uniform
Greet and thank customers—our community is very generous!

Donations received at storefronts are credited toward your scout’s goal and help reduce your sales target.

Our Popcorn Kernel (the fundraising coordinator) handles all scheduling and logistics—you just show up ready to represent Scouting!

✅ Why Fundraising Matters

Helps keep scouting affordable for everyone
Teaches scouts public speaking, goal setting, and responsibility
Funds activities, awards, supplies, and more
Makes scouting accessible without needing to pay all dues out of pocket

Popcorn Fundraiser Incentive: Cover Your Scout's Costs!

Did you know your Scout can earn their way through Scouting just by selling popcorn?

If a Scout reaches $1,000 in popcorn sales, the following costs will be completely covered:

Scouting America Annual Registration Fee
Council Program Fee
Pack Dues

That’s right — with $1,000 in sales, your Scout’s entire year of membership and participation in our Pack is 100% paid for!

This is a great opportunity to teach your Scout about goal-setting, responsibility, and the value of hard work — all while supporting our Pack and local Scouting programs.

💰 Popcorn Fundraiser Buy-Out Option

We understand that not every family has the time or ability to participate in fundraising. For families who prefer not to sell popcorn, Pack 122 offers a buy-out option to cover Pack dues directly.

🔄 How It Works:

Instead of selling popcorn, families may choose to pay dues in two installments:

$65 due in October
$65 due in February

This buy-out covers your Scout’s full Pack dues for the year, supporting:

Awards and advancement supplies
Pack activities and events
Program materials and planning resources

This option helps ensure every Scout can fully participate—even if fundraising isn't a fit for your family.

💳 How to Pay:

You can pay the buy-out:

By card using our Square payment link
By check or cash at any meeting (receipts available)
