What does the money go to?

Sometimes people proclaim, "Wow, that's expensive popcorn!" But say that 70% is tax-deductible and it's a very good fundraiser.

The money helps to pay for everything we do.  It helps pay for equipment like Pinewood Derby timers, tents and cooking utensils for camping, and games.  It also helps cover campout costs, cost of renting space, any food you are having at an event, and transportation if needed.  The prizes, awards and badges that the boys earn add up quickly as expenses, too.

For both cub scouts and boys scouts, popcorn sales can help pay for out-of-pocket costs for scouts who can't afford them.

Good luck selling!
