It’s time for our popcorn fundraiser!  Due to the unique circumstances this year, Pack 1999 scouts are strongly encouraged to sell popcorn online, instead of traditional door-to-door sales.

The good news is that online popcorn sales is easy, can reach a wider geographical target, and products are delivered directly to the customer! Scouts do not have to collect money or deliver products – everything is contact-free!

Important points to note –

1. New scouts – Please create an online account at www.Trails-End.com (detailed instructions below) to start selling. An email invitation from Trail's End should have been sent out for you to register for an account.

2. Returning scouts – Please use the same account created from previous years.

3. 30% of popcorn sales (including direct donations to the Pack without popcorn products) goes towards reducing their individual scout dues payable to Pack 1999. It’s a win-win for the scouts to earn their own way!

4. All checks for popcorn orders or direct donations should be made out to Pack 1999 (NOT to Boy Scouts of America, BSA, Hassler Cub Scouts, etc). 

5. Popcorn order forms for door-to-door sales (if any) and payments need to be submitted to Den Leaders by October 27^th.

6. Online sales period – now through November 8^th (Pack 1999’s deadline for calculation of reduction in scout dues). However, Trail’s End online sales will officially end on December 31^st.

7. 2020 Popcorn Products List is attached. Shipping is $7.99 + $0.99 per additional product.

8. All popcorn sales count toward prize incentives from the District - all Amazon Gift Cards (see Prize Catalog in attachments).

Given the extended time that our kids are spending online in the present circumstances, Please take some time out to go over the simple guidelines of the cyberchip requirements with your scout(s).
