New Products

There have been several changes in the Trails End Product line from last year.  Sweet and Savory, Classic Trail Mix, Light Butter Popcorn and Jalapeno' Popcorn are no longer offered.  While there are still four products in the Chocolate Lovers Tin, a Chocolate Pecan Cluster is replacing one of the two Chocolate Caramel Crunch that had previously been offered.  The Cheese Lovers collection has slightly changed, replacing one of the White Cheddar bags of corn with a bag of Yellow Cheddar.

There is one new product this year, Salted Caramel Corn with Sea Salt.  This product was offered last year as part of the On-line Sales by Trails End.  It proved so popular that it is now being included in their fall lineup.  It is a 20oz. bag and sells for $25.00.

New Nut Vender

We are happy to Introduce our new vender for the Fall Product Sale, Whitley's Peanut Factory.   With the introduction of Whitley's into the fall Sale we offer additional candy choices.  All Whitley's chocolate products are hand dipped and sealed for freshness.  And the products taste great, if you had the chance to attend the Council Program Launch and tried some samples you already know the product is good.  The price points mirror popcorn.

All the peanut products are Virginia Peanuts.  Did you know that a Virginia Peanut doesn't refer to where the peanut was grown, but instead the grade of peanut?  A Virginia Peanut is the largest of all peanuts and is usually reserved for gourmet snacks and account for 15% of all peanuts grown in the US.

Our product lineup includes:

Troops Salted Virginia Peanuts

Troops Honey Roasted Virginia Peanuts

Jumbo Salted Cashews

Honey Cinnamon Almonds 

Bacon Maple Virginia Peanuts

*Dark Chocolatey Almond Clusters

*Milk Chocolatey Caramel Delights

The Unit Kickoff is one of the most important parts of a successful sale.  Kickoffs should be scheduled for one of the unit's first meetings in August or September.  Kickoffs can happen as early as August 3rd (the night after the Council Kickoff) or later in September if the unit is only going to participate in Take Order and/or Online Sale.

  Tips for a Successful Kickoff

  During the gathering period, have a popcorn display and samples. Use the pictures taken at camp to create a collage of activities the unit participated in last year and what you want to do this year. Have a poster with the Scout's names and a place for them to write in their goals.

• The Council has a Popcorn Machine that units can reserve for their kickoff at no cost
• Kernels, oil, and bags are provided.  (each pack serves about 10 people)
• You can submit a request to reserve the Popcorn Popper by visiting www.padutchbsa.org/popcorn/

• This year the Kernel Team is happy to share a selection of prizes from the Prize Mania Prize Program that you can display at your kickoff
• Being able to see some of the prizes that the Scouts can earn helps to build excitement and to set goals
