WHAT A POPCORN SEASON!
As we wrap up our popcorn fundraiser, we have so much to celebrate, and honestly, we’re still a little blown away by what our scouts accomplished!
Last year, our Pack had zero popcorn sales. This year, with a new leader stepping up to take on the fundraiser with absolutely no prior experience, we started with just three scouts committed to selling. We ended the season with NINE scouts participating!
And the results? Incredible!
One of our scouts ranked 17th in sales out of the entire council in his very first year participating in the fundraiser!
Our Pack finished 18th in the entire council!
But as proud as we are of those accomplishments, some of the best moments had nothing to do with sales.
We were blown away by the response from our community. Everywhere our scouts went, people showed up to support them. Along the way, our scouts had the opportunity to meet so many former Scouts, including several who had earned their Eagle Scout rank. They took the time to stop, share their stories, and encourage our boys. More than one told our scouts that Scouting was one of the best things they had ever done in their lives. Those conversations and connections are something our boys won’t soon forget.
Beyond the popcorn, our scouts practiced skills that will serve them well long after this fundraiser is over:
• Building confidence by approaching and talking to others.
• Learning how to communicate and explain what they’re selling.
• Setting goals and working toward them.
• Handling money and understanding transactions.
• Learning perseverance, responsibility, and the value of hard work.
• Experiencing firsthand what it means to be part of a community.
And perhaps most importantly, they got to see what happens when a community comes together to support its young people.
Every dollar earned will help create opportunities for our scouts to learn, explore, serve, grow, and continue their Scouting journey. From adventures and activities to camps and experiences, these funds help make it all possible.
To every family who participated, every scout who put themselves out there, and every community member who purchased popcorn or shared an encouraging word: THANK YOU!
We’re proud of our scouts, grateful for our community, and excited for what’s ahead.
That’s what Scouting is all about! 💙💛
