How do I allocate my order to a specific Group?

At checkout, customers can select their preferred Group from a drop-down menu.  Please ensure the correct name has been selected as some Groups share similar names.  *Note: this is only available to those Groups who have previously registered by completing the Registration Form found at Registration Form - Popcorn .

What if I cannot find my preferred Group on the list?

This means that your preferred Group did not choose to participate in the fundraiser or that they have not yet registered (see question above).

How do I select a specific youth’s name that I wish to credit my order to?

At checkout, customers can add the youth’s first and last name to their order by filling out the required field.

When placing an order, do you have to choose a Group or youth?

No, you do not.  You can select the “I do not want to choose a Scout Group” button and your order will be credited to Scouts Canada National.

How do I view the Dashboard to follow my Group’s sales?

Once you have registered, a dashboard link will be created (within 5 days).  You will then receive an e-mail, with a registration link, allowing you to see your dashboard.  Please allow 24 hours for the the dashboard to connect to your registration.  If, after 24 hours, the connection does not work, please contact popcorn@scouts.ca.

What percentage of the revenue goes to Groups and to Scouts Canada?

Groups will receive 45% of the retail price as profit.  In addition, net profits will go to the No One Left Behind (NOLB) campaign, which provides children and youth from low-income families with the opportunity to participate in Scouting. 

How do Groups receive their money?

Groups will be paid by Scouts Canada via direct deposit.  As part of the registration to participate, your Group will need to submit their updated banking information.  This is not applicable if you have already updated your information for previous fundraising campaigns.  Groups will be paid out by December 20th.  An income statement which includes customers, items purchased, group profits, NOLB allocations, Section totals, and Youth’s sales will be sent to registered fundraising coordinators in the weeks following the campaign’s wrap.  At that point you will have 2 weeks to confirm the details listed.

What are your COVID-19 guidelines?

We ask Groups/Sections to follow Scouts Canada's COVID-19 guidelines.  The fundraiser has been designed to be contactless to accommodate health and safety concerns.
