Council Led Fundraising Projects

Popcorn (Trails End)

The Texas Southwest Council is committed to supporting our Scouts in earning their way and raising the dollars a Scout and Unit needs for the ever-increasing registration and program fees.  The leadership of the Texas Southwest Council is the only council across the nation that offers 50% commission on all popcorn sales: Take Order, Store Fronts, and Online.  This extra commission helps Scouts and families to pay for annual membership fee, program fees, unit and council camps, unit equipment, and so much more.

Below is the Council Kickoff PowerPoint along with the Unit Commitment Form and a link to sign up to sell online.  July 8th is your deadline to order popcorn.
