Be Sure to Let Scouts Know About The Galactic Collection Patch At Your Kickoff!

A SELLING INCENTIVE THAT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD

The Sky is No Longer the Limit with the Galactic Collection PatchScouts can now take their popcorn sales to new heights while earning the Galactic Collection Patches and Top Seller Pin. Using the new Popcorn System, it’s easy to keep track of what each Scout sells. Then, place your order for each component of this patch when you place your prize order.

Created 10 years ago by a Scouting leader who was interested in giving back to the military, the Military Donation is a great way to show our troops you care. Your customers can support both you and our military by purchasing a military donation. To date, more than $45 million in popcorn has been donated to US Troops and veteran organizations.

Supporting ScoutsCollege could be a step in your Scout’s journey. Did you know Scouts that sell $2,500 or more can receive 6% of their sales in a Trail’s End Scholarship fund? After they reach $2,500 worth of sales in a year, Trail’s End invests 6% of their sale into their scholarship fund each year afterward. Last year, Trail’s End supported almost 400 college-bound Scouts, totaling over $300,000 in scholarships.
