Results from 2017 Popcorn Sale

Thank you to everyone that participated in the 2017 popcorn sale.  We didn’t quite reach our 2017 goal, but we did increase our overall sale by over $18,000 from 2016.  2017 was a fantastic year, our total sales were $745,185.  A huge success story was online sales, this year we almost doubled our total with $40,945 in sales.  This was an increase of over $17,000 compared to 2016.  

On December 16th, 2017 we had a private Scout showing of the new Star Wars movie (The Last Jedi) at the Regal Greensboro Grande Stadium for those Scouts that sold at least $900 in popcorn.  They got to see the movie for free and received a small concession package.  We had over 120 Scouts and a total of 368 attendees at the theater that day.  We completely filled 5 theater rooms!  The Scouts had a blast!

Lastly I want to recognize and congratulate the Top 3 Sellers in the Council and the Top seller in each District:
