70%
Over 70% of all popcorn sales go to support scouting across the DelMarVa Peninsula. The goal is to be able to provide a quality scouting experience to all while minimizing any financial burden on families. A portion of the 70% remains with Troop 50 and is reinvested directly to our scouts.
Troop 50 also allows scouts to earn funds that are placed into each scouts personal scout fund that may be used for any and all scouting related purchases or fees. There are certain conditions that must be met, but, scouts that work very hard for the fundraiser have the chance to fully fund a summer camp trip! Or purchase that new backpack for a high adventure trip!
As offered in the past, the fundraiser also provides the opportunity for anyone to donate money to purchase and send popcorn products to our troops overseas! Such a gift provides our troops just a small piece of home while abroad.
Scouts also have the option to sell products online. The online commission rates are higher for both the Troop and each scout. Please consider this option. All sales will be shipped directly to the buyer. You must register by using the link below first.
