In today's economy more and more companies are approaching Scout groups to sell their products as a fundraiser. Always check with vendors and services to see if they are a licensed BSA vendor. The BSA works with vendors to ensure the highest return to Scouting. The BSA Popcorn fundraiser ensures the highest return - 70%. We are pleased to present an exciting fundraising program for Fall 2010. Our focus is to maximize the return on your valuable time spent fundraising with the end result of helping you raise the necessary funds for an entire year of Scouting. Our goal is to make Scouting more affordable for as many boys as possible...all while Scouts are learning the value of earning their own way...and most importantly having fun!
