Popcorn and Peanuts 2025 - Pack 120
Hello Pack 120 Families
With the start of a new scouting year comes one of our important traditions - Popcorn & Peanut fundraising! This effort directly supports Pack activities, helping us funding adventures for every scout.
Our Pack goal is a blend of sales and dues:
- Target: $300 in sales per Scout or
- a combination: $150 sales + $40 dues or
- higher dues: $80 dues
How We Sell
- Show & Sell (Storefront Sales) - Scouts sell from our inventory at local stores.
- Take Orders - Scouts take orders from family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc., then deliver in November.
Show & Sell Dates
- 9/13 - Rocking R Hardware
- 9/20 - Lowe's
- 9/28 - TBD (need a volunteer coordinator for setup/takedown - we're out of town)
- Additional October dates are likely. We're also exploring Food Lion and welcome other suggestions!

Show
& Sell Signup Genius
Daily sales will be split hourly between participating Scouts. We've stocked extra $10 items this year since they sold out quickly in 2024.
Take Orders
- Order forms will be handed out at the Sept. 15 Pack meeting.
- Orders with payment due Sunday, Oct. 19 to your Den Leader or me (Mark Kipps).
- Payments can be made by cash, check, or Venmo (@mkipps). If using Venmo, please email me so I can track it.
Online Sales
- Peanuts are not available online.
- Popcorn is sold via Pecatonica River Popcorn.
- Products differ from Take Orders (e.g., combo flavors vs. singles).
- Invitations will be emailed this week - share them via email or social media!
- Scouts get full credit for online orders.
Selling Tips
- Think family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, church members, and community connections.
- Door-to-door sales with a parent or trusted adult are often very successful.
- Class A uniforms are effective at representing scouting and increasing sales.
