Sagamore Council Popcorn Kernel Journal
This is your introductory edition of the Kernel Journal for the 2022 Sagamore Popcorn Sale. Each week (we hope on Tuesday moving forward) the Kernel Journal will be sent to you to keep you informed on important components of the popcorn sale between now and December. If you have any questions that are not addressed in this or other versions of the Kernel Journal, do not hesitate to ask Emily or Bryon.
Besides our Spring Camp Card sale, the popcorn sale is the only council supported fundraiser each year where Scouts can raise money to help fund their Scouting adventures. If done right, a Pack or Troop can raise enough money to support their unit program for the entire Scouting year.

Your unit can commit to selling popcorn for this year. You will be receiving information from Trails End regarding this step as well.

All units should be committed to sell by June 30th.
