What are you supposed to do with Cash Donations?
Per BSA Policy on Fundraising and IRS regulations, units may not solicit cash donations for general use. However while selling popcorn, cash donations are often received. When cash donations are received they should go to the popcorn Kernel so that he/she can enter them as Military Donations in increments of $30 and $50.

For example if you received $1,000 in cash donations during the 2019 Popcorn Fundraiser, the unit kernel would enter twenty $50 Military donations with the Unit's Order #3. Aside from being required, why else would your unit want to record cash donations as Military Donations?

  1. Every Dollar Raised through Military Donations go to support local service men and women!
  2. Increases your Units Commission: Military Donations count towards your Units sales total and commission, which for a unit just under $5k or $10k in product sales can mean a higher commission percentage as well. Units who would go over $10k would then qualify for a home delivery for Order #1 in 2020.
  3. Increases your Scouts Sales total and Prize level: Like Units, when Scouts record Military Donations that adds to their sales total and as a result prize level.
  4. People making cash donations think they are making a charitable donation, which unless it is entered as a military donation it is not. With the App you can enter the customers information and they can receive a receipt, that they can use on their taxes if they wish.

Kernels, the Trails End system no longer allows you to manually add Scouts to your Unit. In order for Scouts to be added to your Unit, they must create an online page at trails-end.com. This change is due to the Amazon Gift Card program, which requires an email address to send to each Scout who sells over $350 a gift card code.
