Troop 1128 – Vienna, VA
Dear Troop Members,
We’re excited to announce the commencement of our Annual Popcorn Fundraising Drive, and we’d like to bring your attention to the following crucial information:

Let’s delve into the “HOW” of this season’s fundraising efforts.
Last year, thanks to our incredible scouts and families, our troop successfully sold $25,849 worth of popcorn and received generous donations. Our troop earned a commission of 33% for storefront and wagon sales, and 30% for online sales.
This year, we’re aiming even higher, hoping to surpass our target of $35,000 in sales.
Each patrol will establish a “Popcorn Goal” that will be tracked in comparison to other patrols. We’ll display tracking charts once again to motivate each scout’s participation in the popcorn sale.
Every scout’s target is to sell a minimum of $250 worth of popcorn. If they intend to take part in the High Adventure Trip, their goal is $350. There are various ways to sell popcorn:
For on-line sales, below are some useful resources to make this as easy as possible for Scouts:
