Why Popcorn?
Since 1980, Trail's End has specialized in providing healthy, wholesome, and quality products that are exclusive to Scouting. The support they provide to ensure your unit sale is successful is unparalleled by any other and is why the Southern Sierra Council uses Trail's End as our preferred product fundraiser.
With over 73% of sales going back to Scouting, there is no other fundraiser that compares. Up to 40% goes straight to units in the form of unit commission, prizes for your Scouts, and sales materials. The remaining 30% goes to support the Council's efforts to provide resources, recruitment materials, leader training and camp properties. The Southern Sierra Council takes great pride in knowing that we provide one of the highest returns back to units in a popcorn sale.
