Announcing our MID-SALE incentive!

We are so excited to have our mid-sale incentive this year for Popcorn! If your unit has sold 65% or more of your retail inventory by Wednesday, September 27; you will get one entry into a drawing for a $500 Amazon gift card. All sales must be in the Trail’s End app. 

The Lincoln Heritage Council Popcorn Honor Society

This program recognizes the tremendous efforts our Scouts are making to sell popcorn. Each week, we will share the Scouts with the 10 highest sales throughout our council. At the end of the sale, the TOP 50 Scouts will receive a special mylar "May the POP be with you" patch.

Week 2's top seller's are listed below:

Blitz Weekend

We are back at it again with our first blitz weekend of our 2023 sale. THIS WEEKEND, September 8-10 will be our Salted Caramel Blitz Weekend. We are looking for the unit who will sell the most bags of Salted Caramel to our customers. The unit who sells the most will get a $200 Amazon Gift Card!



Who will be our Blitz Weekend winner? We will make a Facebook announcement on Monday, September 11! If you check your inventory and realize you need more Salted Caramel, please contact the council office. We have a limited supply that will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Running out of Popcorn?

We want your Scouts to have the best sale and be successful; therefore, if you are running out of your inventory while at your storefront/s, call, or text your District Executive or Sarah Flowers and we will do everything we can to get you more product either the same or next day!
