Popcorn Supplier & Product
Scouts Canada is thrilled to continue working with Kernels Popcorn as our 2026 Scout Popcorn supplier. With locations across the majority of the country, Kernels has built a strong brand and delicious product that Canadians reach for when it’s snack time. Their high-quality popcorn is not only bursting with flavour but is also all gluten-free and nut-free!
We will be introducing our very own Scouts signature flavour: Maple Caramel! Alongside with 4 Kernels classics: Creamy Caramel NEW for 2026!, Buttersalt, Whalin’ White Cheese and Cheesey Dill. All popcorn comes in bags that are a bit smaller than a standard bag of potato chips (here is an image for scale). Popcorn bags will be sold at retail price between $7 and $9. Weights will vary between product due to candy coated vs. non candy coated. Each flavour will be available for individual sale as well as in combo packs.
| Pricing & weight breakdown | ||

| Maple Caramel | 150g | $9.00 |
| Creamy Caramel | 150g | $9.00 |

Full cases & roundup
Popcorn is only shipped in full cases of 10 bags of an individual flavour. At the end of the fundraiser, your roundup bags will be added to your order. Roundup bags are the additional bags of popcorn needed to make full cases of 10 per flavour. Depending on how many bags were sold by your Group during the fundraiser, you may need between 1-9 roundup bags per flavour. Your required roundup bags will be calculated for you. The cost of adding the extra bags to your order will be deducted from your fundraiser payout. The roundup bags are yours to use – Feel free to sell or snack on any roundup popcorn!
Shipping & Distribution
Scouts has partnered with AMJ Campbell to bring your popcorn to a Distribution Hub near you at no additional cost. AMJ is a professional moving company with warehouses across the country. We have secured locations in major cities throughout every province to be our designated Scout Popcorn Distribution Hubs!
NEW THIS YEAR – Final mile delivery: Choose final mile to have your Group's popcorn order delivered to your door! See details below.
How it works:
- On the Scout Popcorn registration sheet, you will select the AMJ Distribution Hub that you would like to pick up your popcorn orders from
- Your group will be set up with a My Scout Group Shop fundraising dashboard. Groups will sell Scout Popcorn online through your dashboard from September 1st and November 3rd.
- Production will conclude after the final quantity numbers have been received by all groups at the end of the selling period. All orders from groups across the country will be shipped around the same time to the Distribution Hubs.
- Popcorn will be available for pickup December 5th (backup date December 12th) from your selected Hub. You will be able to bring one or multiple vehicles to your Hub where AMJ staff will be on site to help you with your Group’s order.
- A list of customers that purchased popcorn through your Group will be available through your online fundraising report. These are the customers you will need to distribute popcorn to. You will need to organize with your customers when they will receive or pickup their order from your Group.

New for 2026 – Final mile delivery
AMJ is offering final mile delivery to Groups who do not wish to or are unable to pickup their popcorn themselves from the Distribution Hub. Final mile delivery will come with an additional cost to Groups depending on location and the number of pallets you are receiving.
Pricing is based on delivery location distance from your selected Distribution Hub and the number of pallets being delivered.
| SERVICE LEVEL | DESCRIPTION | ZONE 1 | ZONE 2 | ZONE 3 | ZONE 4 |
| 0 – 50km from Distribution Hub | 51 – 100km from Distribution Hub | 101 - 150km from Distribution Hub | 151 - 200km from Distribution Hub | ||

$350.00 one pallet + $30 per additional pallet |
$400.00 one pallet + $30 per additional pallet |

This is an optional service. If you would like to participate in final mile delivery, please complete this form.
An invoice will be emailed to you with the total shipping cost. The cost to ship will be deducted from your fundraised earnings before they are deposited into your account.
Note – Choosing final mile does not mean you will receive you order faster. Your popcorn will be shipped to the Distribution Hub with all other group orders to then be delivered to your location. Your delivery date will depend on the appointment times available at each individual Hub and will be around the same timeline as scheduled pickup dates.
Full cases & roundup
Popcorn is only shipped in full cases of 10 bags of an individual flavour. At the end of the fundraiser, your roundup bags will be added to your order. Roundup bags are the additional bags of popcorn needed to make full cases of 10 per flavour. Depending on how many bags were sold by your Group during the fundraiser, you may need between 1-9 roundup bags per flavour. Your required roundup bags will be calculated for you. The cost of adding the extra bags to your order will be deducted from your fundraiser payout. The roundup bags are yours to use – Feel free to sell or snack on any roundup popcorn!
My Scout Group Shop
All Scout Popcorn sales will be processed through our fundraising platform, My Scout Group Shop. My Scout Group Shop (MSGS) gives Groups their own unique Fundraising Dashboard to personalize and share with supporters. MSGS provides an interactive way for the community to stay involved in the hard work and achievements of their local Scout Groups while providing Groups with a seamless way to collect donations to fund their next adventure. Funds raised through fundraisers and designated donations will reflect on their Dashboard to engage supporters.

How to sell Scout Popcorn
Step one – Registration
All participating Groups must complete the registration form.
If you do not already have an MSGS account, this will give your Group access. All sales will be processed using the fundraising platform MyScoutGroupShop.ca. To gain access to your Group’s Fundraising Dashboard through MyScoutGroupShop.ca, you first need to register for Scout Popcorn.
Step two – Group resources
All updated fundraising materials for Groups can be found in the D.A.M. Brand Folder. Find all marketing materials, order sheets, and tutorials in one convenient place. Please take the time to explore all assets.
Step three – Start selling
As always, Groups can sell products for national fundraisers using the method that works best for them. Here are two ideas – feel free to use one, both or even try something new!
A. In Person Sales: Collect orders from individuals in your community. This can be through door-to-door, outside local shops, booth at community events, etc. Have customers click on the link to your Group’s personalized storefront on MyScoutGroupShop.ca. They can place their order from their own device. Watch your dashboard on MyScoutGroupShop.ca as you progress towards your fundraising goal!
Note – If you collect cash orders in person, you do no need to wait and submit 1 large order near the end of the fundraiser. All popcorn is shipped near the end of the fundraiser. Knowing how much popcorn has been sold early helps us manage product and keep shipping on schedule for early December pickups. Large orders at the end of the fundraiser bottleneck this process.
B. Online Exclusive: Find the sharable link on your MyScoutGroupShop.ca dashboard and share online with your family and friends! They can make their donation from their own device by following the link. Watch your dashboard on MyScoutGroupShop.ca as you progress towards your fundraising goal!
Note – Please try to limit sharing your link with only members of your community. You and your Group will be responsible for distributing customer’s popcorn orders.
Step four – Shipping & order pickup
At the end of the selling period, all customer orders will be shipped together to your chosen Distribution Hub. Popcorn will only be shipped in full cases – 10 bags of the same flavour. Your Group will be charged for the extra roundup bags needed to make the full case amounts. You are free to sell them or snack on them! You will pick up all popcorn orders from your selected Distribution Hub on a scheduled date / pay for final mile delivery and then organize with your customers when they will receive or pickup their order from your Group.

Step five – Campaign wrap up
Once popcorn has been delivered to all Distribution Hubs, we will begin to pull reports and distribute funds from the campaign. A report of sales and customers is available through your online fundraising reports page. This will include all sales activity, the youth's name and section the sale has been attributed (where applicable), and any roundup bags added to make complete cases. Funds are deposited directly into your connected Scouts Canada bank account.
Breakdown of sales: Groups receive 45% to fund scouting adventures, 55% goes to supply the product, shipping and distribution fees, platform maintenance, and administrative and processing fees.
