Popcorn Sale

Face it parents: we grew up in a different time. As kids, nothing was handed to us. We either worked or helped to earn our rewards: money, an activity with friends, or something we wanted. Scouting still believes in and stands for the core value of earning!

Show and Sells

  • Check the calendar for show and sell times and other important details.

Scouts can also create their own Show and Sell
