Subject: Super Bonus Popcorn Sale!!
Good Afternoon & Happy Friday-
Please Read Thoroughly-
The Longhorn Council is announcing an exciting extension to the popcorn sale this year, called the Super Bonus Sale! It includes some great incentives for Scouts as well as some bonus commissions for units! It will run from 11/5 - 12/15, details in the attached pdf file.
Please share this great opportunity scouts and parents! Please be sure to email Kathy McLean by 11/4 at Kathy.McLean(a)scouting.org<mailto:Kathy.McLean@scouting.org> if you want to participate!
Trails End is hard at work securing MORE storefronts! Units are also encouraged to reach out to local stores to secure spots.
Some highlights of rewards from Trails End and Council
* Units can earn an EXTRA $500 in commission for every $5000 sold during this special sale.
* Scouts will be entered into drawings for Game Consoles, Gift Cards and more for every $100 sold.
* Scouts who sell specific amounts can earn free movies tickets and refreshments to the upcoming Spider Man movie coming out in 2024.
* More surprises to come!
This is a great way for Scouts who just joined to get in on some fundraising. Also, units can get themselves to the next level on Commissions. Scouts who are just shy of the next prize level can get that bump into the next level.
This is also an opportunity for units that may have missed ordering some product or donations to get those in!
Details on ordering to come very soon! I also encourage units to seek out other units on the Council Popcorn Facebook page who may need to unload product. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1011761082925270
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,

The final popcorn order of the year must be placed by Sunday, October 15 at 11:59 pm. This order is designed to fulfill all popcorn that has been ordered using take-order forms or undelivered Wagon Sales that you do not have inventory on hand to fill. It is also the only opportunity to order Chocolatey Pretzels.
- This order won't be available for pickup until November 3rd (Distribution information coming soon)
- You can order individual items, not just whole cases!
- This is not intended to be one of the normal replenishment orders.
- The only opportunity to order Chocolate Pretzels
- None of this is returnable!
- You are encouraged to check the Council Popcorn Facebook Page before ordering. There are several units looking to transfer popcorn.
- This is the final opportunity to get the Heroes and Helpers, aka Military donations, ordered. Must order for every donation "sold" in the app. The order form will tell you if you are short and what you need to order.

Just a note ... this does not qualify for the BSA 50-miler Award.
The group must cover a trail (or a canoe or boat route) of not less than 50 consecutive miles and take a minimum of five consecutive days to complete the trip — all without the aid of motors. During the trip, each participant must spend at least 10 hours working on a conservation project such as trail maintenance.

We wanted to pass along info on the Paul Kempf hikes this for other units in the district. This will be its 59th year.

Troop 3 has been doing it for the last 7 years, I won't lie the first evening of the 50 miler is rough, but we've had a number of Scouts complete it at least 4 years in a row.
Attached is the 2024 schedule and an article from the 50th Anniversary.
