I found out they pay the scouts more then I knew.

They are giving 50% of the sale to the scouts. They give 30% to the local pack and 20% goes to the national BSA. The local pack then gives the cub scout scout bucks to spend on camp and sleeping bags etc.. Our pack used scout bucks to fund a campout two weeks ago and they have a few more over the next few months. It really helps the boys with single mothers who can't afford to send their kids to camp or buy the sleeping bags, tents and canteens etc...

I think it's better then begging for money for the scouts as the popcorn sale covers most of the years needs.
