Popcorn Sales
Popcorn Sales
Popcorn sales is an annual fundraising program to help Troops and Scouts raise money for recharters, activities, and badges. It was held at storefronts across San Jose, Cupertino, and Sunnyvale, or done online. As scouts would test their marketing and communication skills with customers while learning the value of working, goal setting, and inventory management, they would also rack up points for selling their popcorn, used to redeem gifts. With enough sales (the number is quite high!), a scout could earn themselves up to a $1,000 gift card!

Scouts helped operate the bouncy house for the kids who came to play and made sure the event ran smoothly. With many responsibilities falling on the scouts, everyone earned lots of service hours.

Looking around themselves, with stalagmites littering the walls, they envisioned themselves twelve thousand years ago, when Natives first discovered the cavern. As the lights turned off, nothing was visible, but a dim light illuminated revealed what seemed to be a monster... made of rocks.
Cooking
Cooking
After a refreshing hike, the scouts came to a beautiful campsite on a sunny day. A long-awaited cooking competition was held among the patrols, bringing out the "inner Gordon Ramsey" of the scouts, and deciding which patrol had the best food of the troop. The scouts eagerly competed for their ingredients through a cooking-based Jeopardy then raced to a nearby destination to secure their final ingredient: the noodle. With these noodles and ingredients in hand, each patrol organized themselves and used all of their culinary knowledge to produce the best-tasting noodles they could. Judged by the parents, the patrol crowned winner of the competition was...
