Popcorn & Nuts Sales

The French Creek Council is pleased to offer the 2025 Popcorn and Nuts Sale for units to fund their programs and to help financially support their local council. This fundraiser is held annually each fall and is a ready-made, turn-key, simple product sale that offers up to 38% commission to participating units.

The Show & Sell phase of the popcorn and nuts sale will begin the weekend of August 1st. This is where Scouts interact with the community in front of storefronts selling products. Ordering will also open on August 1st, and all traditional Show & Sell orders must be placed by August 16th.

Selling Prizes

The popcorn sale prize program incentivizes Scouts in several ways, aiming to motivate them to achieve higher sales and engage actively in the fundraising process. The program is designed to encourage Scouts to participate actively in the sale, enhance their salesmanship skills, and contribute to their unit’s financial goals. It’s a great way for scouts to learn while supporting their local scouting community. Our sale offers some terrific prize options through the Keller Prize Program in addition to Top-Selling Performer Prizes provided by the French Creek Council.
