Popcorn Season is here!
Units who ordered popcorn for wagon and show n sells will have inventory on the 10th of Sept.   Be on the look out for a Signup to get your popcorn or volunteer!
Please make sure you are using the Trails End app to move popcorn to Scouts and track inventory.   For parents, using the app makes things easier for your unit kernel!   Payments can be taken right in the app from your customers for all sales types –  online direct, show and sales, and wagon sales.

When doing wagon sales, and a customer provides you with cash, parents may then use their own debit or credit card to deposit that money into the unit’s Trails End account.  This option is available in the Wagon Sale page.  It will show as a Pay Now. This will allow parents to turn in money without having to physically hand cash to your unit kernel. Unit kernels will be able to see those deposits immediately and it is credited against the amount the unit owes Council for popcorn.

For Scouts who earned the Trails End Scholarship prior to the end of 2019, they have the current and next season to contribute 4% of their sales to their account.   Trails End Scholarship forms need to be submitted each year.  If using the Trails End app, you don’t need Council signature prior to submission.

For units who are only doing Online Direct or units who are on the fence –  We are seeing success with Facebook videos from Scouts, as well as the 50 State Challenge.  Please reach out to your District Kernels for assistance if needed!

For units doing take order only, encourage parents to use the Trails End app and have their default set to undelivered.  It will help them and you!  Take order orders are due in mid October and will be available in mid November.
We are working on a pick party!  If you know of any locations, please send to the email below.  Please remember that you must have District approval to be at a location that is not on the District list.  If you have a location that you would like, please email NorthShorePopcorncac@gmail.com with details and we will see what we can do.
During these difficult and unprecedented times, supporting Scouting is even more critical.  Units should use the ideal year of Scouting to see what fundraising assistance they need.
