You Pay Less...... You Get More!!!!

  • Financial Support for your Unit & Council - On the average 70% of your sale goes to your Unit and Council .  This improves the already quality program our Scouts receive.  Many units put a portion of each Scout's earnings into camp accounts to pay for activities such as Summer Camp and/or other trips.
  • Proven Product Quality - Leaders and Parents want to have confidence in the Product they are selling.  Over 92% of parents and Leaders surveyed rated Trail's End Product quality as Very Good/Excellent.  Sales history shows that 2 out of 3 consumers will buy when asked and 92% said they would buy again.
  • Exclusive Product Packaging - From the tin designs to the microwave cartons.  The artwork on all Trail's End products has been selected by consumers, parents, and Leaders in research conducted across the country.
  • Complete Online Sale Resource at trails-end.com - Trail's End has a comprehensive website to answer all of your questions about the Popcorn Sale, from nutritional information on products to National Prize Programs.  Don't miss reading the Kernel's Journal.
  • DON'T FORGET there are additional opportunities and prize offerings for those that participate in the Fall Popcorn Sale.  You CAN participate in both sales.
