Commonly Asked Questions
Question: Can I have the Boy Scout Popcorn donated to a particular food bank, or do I have to use the ones that you recommened?
Answer: Feeding America has asked me to begin with the food banks and kids programs that are located closest to where I live, here in Colorado. But if you donate at least $500, I can send a special shipment of popcorn to almost any group (here in the the United States) that you request.
Question: How much money does Scouts get to keep from the popcorn sale?
Answer: Over 70% of every dollar you spend or donate goes to scouts.
Question: Why is your Boy Scout Popcorn sale only available between September 11th and October 16th?
Answer: Scout popcorn sales are a fundraiser for scouts to pay all our expenses for the whole year. We are not in the business of selling popcorn, but just use it to pay our expenses, like Girl Scouts selling cookies. Every Boy Scout Troop has a specific time period they can sell. This is my troop's time period.
