As we move into the new year, we want to reflect on the many successes of the 2020 popcorn sale. To say the Scouts who participated in our 2020 popcorn sale had to overcome obstacles is an understatement. The pandemic created challenges forcing our Scouts to get creative and think of non-traditional ways to sell.
Despite these challenges, our Scouts managed to find a silver lining and made a record number of online sales in 2020. Through the new Trails End app, our Scouts had the ability to sell more popcorn to relatives, friends, and fellow Scouters across the country from the comfort of their own home.

Our Scouts also had the opportunity to participate in several challenges throughout the year including our 50 State Challenge, the Chiefs Challenge, and our Popcorn Prize Patrol. Through these competitions and challenges, Scouts won countless gift cards, a few Nintendo Switch’s, Chiefs tickets, and even a PlayStation 5.
Not only were our Scouts selling popcorn at record levels online, the Heart of America Council saw success through the popcorn sale nationally in 2020 by ranking seventh in the country.
The celebration of the 2020 Popcorn Season will conclude with the Top Pop Celebration which is scheduled for March 2021. Our council's top sellers will receive an exclusive invite to be recognized for their outstanding efforts.
Scouts in Kansas City were prepared for adversity and embraced the challenge COVID-19 presented. Our success in the popcorn sale was because of the hard work of those Scouts, their families, and our dedicated volunteers! Thank you for all your hard work! We are looking forward to an even better popcorn season in 2021!
