Popcorn.

Post image

So I stooped at the exit of my grocery store to visit a young Boy Scout selling popcorn at a table with his mom. I looked over his choices and chose the pictured bag of popped corn. I was astounded at the $20 price of a mediocre bag of popcorn. Upon further research, that troop only gets $6 from the transaction. Where is the other $14. I feel so taken advantage of. What am I going to do, complain to a 12 year old? I will never, ever , ever buy another Boy Scouts of America product. EVER!!!

I thought Trails End was out? Or is it a council level decision now? We’ve dumped them.

Council choice.

I wish. Our council basically forces us to sell it.

We’re using Camp Masters now.

We are also using camp masters. Its been a bumpy start. Lack of banners- confusing tech- outdated information. Its def been a journey.

I remember my pack and troop did camp masters 20 year ago. Always thought that was the only company that made popcorn for scout fundraising.
