2023 Popcorn Sale
We would like to introduce you to the Pecatonica River Popcorn Company. We Host a Popcorn Fundraiser every year to assist local units and Scouts in raising money to pay for Summer Camps, Programs, and supplies. Any fundraised by the council is contributed to valuable programs such as training volunteers to be better Scouts, lowering the program's cost for Scouts, and sustaining camp facilities. Purchasing popcorn outside of a retail store (show-and-sell) or ordering popcorn (take-order), is the easiest way to help units raise money. Over 70% of all sales dollars remain here to support our Scouts at the council and the unit level.

The unit works as a team at a location(s) to show its products and to make immediate sales. Units need to get permission to sell in front of a business, storefront, or other location. Checks should be made out to the unit and the unit submits one check to the council.
The unit needs to place Order for the Show-&-Sell date to be announced soon.
Show & Sell Popcorn Pickup Will be around August 30th, 2023
Take Order
A Scout goes door to door with a take order form with a parent or a buddy, the customer writes their order on the form, and the Scout returns to deliver the product and collect payment in a few weeks. Checks should be made out to the unit and the unit submits one check to the Leatherstocking Council. Remember always to say “Thank You” to the person purchasing the popcorn.
