The Pack 754
Popcorn Sale
One fundraiser that powers a whole year of campouts, badges, and adventure — and teaches Scouts to earn their own way.
Key Dates for 2026
Mark your calendar — these are the dates that matter most for scouts and families this season.
Every bag funds our whole year
Each year our Pack sells popcorn in the community to fundraise and teach our Scouts to “pay their own way.” A portion of every sale comes directly back to Pack 754 to fund campouts, den activities, and Pinewood Derby — the rest supports council programs and camps.
Skills Scouts practice along the way
- Goal setting
- The power of persuasion
- How to handle rejection gracefully
- Perseverance
- Math skills

What Scouts Earn
On top of the 33% that comes back to our Pack, individual Scouts unlock these rewards based on their own sales.
Pack Dues Waiver
Sell $500 or more and your 2026 Pack dues are completely waived. Families with two Scouts can waive both by selling $750+ combined.
BSA National Dues Refund
Scouts who sell $1,000 or more receive a full refund of their BSA National dues.
Free Camping for the Year
All camping fees waived for the entire year — for the Scout and their parents. (Doesn’t cover siblings.)
Gift Cards
Every Scout also earns gift cards based on their total popcorn sales — the more you sell, the more you earn.
Customer Interaction Guide
🎯 Goal: help Scouts learn how to respectfully approach, talk to, and thank customers while sharing their cause and representing Pack 754 with pride.

Even if they decline: “Thank you for your time — have a great day!”
Teamwork & Taking Turns
