Fundraising | Pack 62 Erie, CO

Main Annual Fundraiser

Trail's End Popcorn Sale

Pack 62's biggest fundraiser of the year runs each fall, typically September through October. Scouts sell online, in-person door-to-door, and at show-and-sell tables at local businesses around Erie.

✓ 30–40% of proceeds return directly to the pack and individual scout accounts
✓ Scouts earn prizes based on sales totals — the more you sell, the bigger the reward
✓ Each scout gets their own Trail's End login at trails-end.com
✓ Online sales let friends and family across the country support your scout

Big milestone: Scouts who sell $500 or more can earn enough to cover most of their camping fees for the year.

Camp Card Sale

Each spring, Pack 62 scouts participate in the Adventure West Council camp card sale. Scouts sell $5 discount cards that save customers money at local retailers and businesses across the area.

This fundraiser is perfect for scouts who prefer face-to-face selling — knocking on a neighbor's door and making the ask. Proceeds are split between pack funds and individual scout accounts, giving every participating scout a boost toward their next adventure.

🌱 Look for camp card kick-off details in spring pack communications.

How Scout Accounts Work

Every scout who participates in fundraising builds a personal account balance they can spend on scouting activities.

💰

Earn

A percentage of every sale you make goes into your personal scout account. The more you sell, the more you earn.

🏕️

Spend

Apply your balance toward camp registration, uniform costs, or activity fees. Your account travels with you all year.

📋

Track

Your den leader and treasurer can show you your current balance at any time. You're always in the know.

Note: Balances are tracked through the pack year. Contact the treasurer with any questions about your account.

👕 Pack Merchandise Hats, patches, and t-shirts are available periodically. Ask your den leader about current inventory — wearing the Pack 62 brand shows pride and supports the pack.
🏢 Employer Matching Many employers match charitable giving to nonprofits. Check with your HR department to see if your company participates — it can double the impact of your donation at no extra cost to you.
