The annual fall popcorn sale is Baltimore Council's primary fund raiser. Units and Council share a high percentage of total sales and scouts get to develop self confidence and interpersonal skills by talking to people about popcorn. This page provides references and resources to help units make the annual popcorn sale a success.
