Popcorn Fundraiser – Unit Commission Structure

2023 Popcorn Product Sale

Objective

The Moraine Trails Council, BSA pays from the Council share of the sale for product delivery, unit sales materials, youth incentive programs, and staff time coordinating and sorting product prior to unit pick-up. With product being ordered in full cases, the Council also takes the loss on any unsold product. Typically, the Council’s share after these expenses is 26-28 percent of the sale. The Council conducts the sale to support facilities such as Camp Bucoco, Council program delivery, unit support, membership drives, and much more.
