Popcorn Updates
Only 2 weekends of storefront sales left for the season!
If you checked out popcorn for wagon sales, please make sure to turn in whatever you don’t sell no later than Friday, October 21st so we can sell it at the last storefront on the 22nd. Any popcorn not turned in by the 21st, your family will be responsible for selling.
- #1 in the Coastal Plains District (35 units in our District)
- #5 in the Sam Houston Area Council (more than 500 units in our Council selling popcorn)
- #123 in the Nation (more than 5,000 units)
The last 2 sales days are at the Brazos Town Center Kroger, outside so make sure to bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.

STOREFRONT
Total sales per day will be divided equally per time worked between the scouts who signed up and completed their slot.
The first time slot of the day is responsible for picking up popcorn and supplies (tables, signage, etc.) from storage. The Popcorn Kernel will meet you at the storage unit 30 min prior to the first shift so you can set up and start sales on time. Scouts will earn 2.5 hours towards their shift.
Last time slot of the day will be responsible for packing up all items and returning everything to the storage unit at the end of the 2-hour time slot. Let’s be sure to have this filled with more than one family, so this extra task is not left to just one person. Scouts will receive 2.5 hours towards their shift instead of 2 hours.
Please only sign up for one shift per weekend. If slots are still available the Thursday before the sales day, feel free to sign up for multiple shifts. This helps give all scouts a fair opportunity to earn their dues and other rewards.

ONLINE
All online orders will ship directly to the customer! Orders may take up to a few weeks to ship. Any chocolate items ordered will not be shipped until late October to early November to ensure the quality of the products.
A seller ID has been assigned to each scout that can be entered during checkout so they receive credit for online sales.
INCENTIVES/PRIZES
- Trails End will give an Amazon gift card to scouts that sell $500 or more!
- Scouts that sell $350 in popcorn will get to participate in an event with the leaders!
NOTE: Products offered online differ to storefront items in selection, size and price.
