Fundraising ~ Pack 85 operates mainly on proceeds from meat stick sales and online only (for this pack) BSA popcorn fundraiser through Trails End. Popcorn goal is for the equivalent of each Scout to sell at least $500 worth of popcorn. ***As of the 2023-2024 year, Pack 85 is not doing in person popcorn sales. It will still be offered through each registered Scout's individual Trails End link.***
