Our PACK 97 Annual Popcorn Fundraiser is an integral part of our success because 70% of the funds raised are returned directly to PACK 97 and Capital Area Council. The money raised by our Scouts helps to fund our Unit’s program in many ways including the purchase of neckerchiefs, handbooks, adventure belt loops, Pinewood Derby kits, rank patches, and much more.
As a member of PACK 97, all Scouts are expected to participate in the Popcorn Fundraiser. You can also accept donations for Helpers & Heroes to send popcorn to military and first responders, while still benefiting our Pack. Selling to friends, family, and neighbors offers our Scouts a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable leadership and communication skills. Plus, all Scouts can earn gift cards from Trails End based on their sales!
NEW FOR 2025! Earn back your dues payment! Once profits are returned to the Pack, 49% of funds will be refunded to the selling scout’s family up to the amount of National and Pack dues! The other 51% will go to the Pack for activities & supplies.
