FALL 2015-BLACKHAWK AREA COUNCIL WWW .B LACKHAWKSCOUTING .ORG/POPCORN
Welcome to the Blackhawk Area Council Popcorn Program!
Buying Boy Scout Popcorn is more than just handing over money for some delicious popcorn. It’s about the skills and learning a Scout gains from in-teracting directly with customers, adult leaders, and family. It’s about the experience of running his own popcorn company and working with others.
Purchasing Scouting Popcorn means you get a tasty snack-and a boy learns a lifetime of skills.
Go to www.BlackhawkScouting.org/Popcorn for documents and a short movie on how to use the new website ordering dashboard. When you first go to register your unit, your
council keyword is 660Hawk

Pecatonica River Popcorn was started in 1983 when a District of the Blackhawk Area Council was interested in earning funds for their Scouting adventures by selling popping corn. The sale was so successful that the Blackhawk Area Council and many others joined the popcorn program. Pecaton-ica River Popcorn is a local family owned company in Livingston, Wisconsin. Attention to detail and quality are the keys to the success of Pecatonica River Popcorn. Corn is ear harvested and then hand sorted to select the most perfect ears. Rather than choosing corn hybrids that have the highest yields, varieties are selected on taste and tenderness. This attention to quality assures excellent taste and a gourmet popcorn product.
