Popcorn Sales

Trail's End Popcorn Program — raise funds for the best year of Scouting!

This is our national annual fundraiser. Scouts earn 30% of their sales into their scout account to help pay for scout trips, Scouting supplies/uniforms, registrations, camps, and more. Units earn up to 7% to support unit initiatives, and additional percentages go to our council to support the upkeep of our camps — CRM, Rotary, and Scoutland. Over $4.9 million has gone to those camps since 2006 for improvements and additions.

This is the most popular and highest performing fundraiser! Last year we were fifth in the council with over $68,000 sold. Make sure to participate!

New to Popcorn Sales

Register by downloading the Trails-End app, or online at portal.trails-end.com/login. During registration you'll be asked for a unit code or your zip code — our unit code is FEMG3 (this registers you for Unit: Pack 149, District: Cherokee, Council: Northeast Georgia). You can start selling online to family and friends starting July 1st.

Booths & Wagon Sales

Booth sales are coordinated by the Pack in front of various store fronts, and Wagon Sales are door-to-door (you check out popcorn ahead of time). Scouts must be registered in Trails-End to sign up and participate. Future communications will come out as we get closer to store booths and wagon sales.
