Troop Popcorn 2022 Goal: $15,000
Personal Selling Goals & Incentives
- Log your sales in the Trail’s End App to be entered into weekly prizes from Trail’s End!
- Each scout also will earn a % of sales into a Scout Account (40% of the Commision Received by the Troop).
- Use this to pay for Dues/Camp/Merit Badges!
- Typically 14% of every Sale would go into a Scout’s Account. This number is subject to change depending on the final Troop Sales Results.

Important Changes from Last Year
It is an unreasonable expectation that the Popcorn Kernel will be able to open all Storefronts this year, therefore:
- Scouts signed up to open a Storefront location are expected to pick up popcorn from the Popcorn Kernel (Alex Alcalde) prior to the storefront starting.
- Likewise, Scouts closing a Storefront are expected to drop off remaining popcorn to the Popcorn Kernel.
