About Popcorn
Building a strong, adventurous program is a great way to keep your Scouts active and interested in the Scouting program. Popcorn sales help fund those adventures. The Alamo Area Council’s premier money-earning project is the annual popcorn sale.  

  • Scouting Units can earn up to 38% in commissions to pay for their Scouting adventures
  • No up-front cost or risk to the Units
  • Scouts learn salesmanship and build confidence
  • 73% of all sales stay right here in our local area
Many Units have raised sizable amounts of money from popcorn sales; providing for a secure and stable source of income to cover the cost of camping, badges/advancement, special events, Scout nights, and other outdoor adventures. Sign your Unit up to participate in this Council-sponsored fundraiser that has proven successful for over 35 years, with $4 billion returned to Scouting nationwide at an average of $150 million each year!

Fundraisers, such as the Popcorn Sale, not only support our Units, but also provide support for Scouting Council-wide to help us serve members and volunteer leaders with top notch programs, training opportunities, and camping facilities.
