This morning, Scouting America Longhouse Council held its Popcorn Symposium to review 2025 Popcorn Sales and discuss our upcoming 2026 Sale.
The Committee discussed the Pros and cons of the season and the common challenges the Units faced.
Postives
- The ease of swapping popcorn
- The Popcorn Kits
- The weekly drawings are done in a timely manner.
- The SKY ZONE Event
Need to fix
- Wording and better directions in the Leader’s Guide
- Clarifications on payment due dates.
- Proper email address for youth who win prizes.
In all, the group felt that the 2025 season was a success. A shout-out was given to the Towpath Kernal, Holly M., for having the largest increase in new Units selling, which translated to the District moving into second place in the District rankings for popcorn sales.
The group reviewed the three options for Popcorn in 2026, sampling products from Camp Masters and Pecatonica. The decision to stay with Pecatonica was unanimous. The product options and the fact that all the products came in tubs or tins were the deciding factors.
Therefore, the Popcorn Committee is excited to announce that the 2026 Popcorn season will feature the theme Dinosaurs, and we will be selling Pecatonica Popcorn. The five-pack of Country Meat Meatsticks will also remain on the menu for 2026.
