Continuing on the theme of Scouts Canada’s popcorn fundraiser, let’s take a look at the group-level impact of popcorn sales.

Podcast Topics

Scouter Ken is joined by Scouter Faith from Chinook Council to discuss Scouts Canada’s popcorn campaign again, but this time from the perspective of a group that benefits heavily from these yearly sales and depends on them for a significant chunk of their yearly programming budget.

Along the way, Faith outlines a handful of fascinating strategies that her group uses to not only encourage youth to take initiative, but also helps build community connections and loyalty.

Podcast Topics

Scouter Ken is joined by Rachel Kent, Fundraising Support Coordinator for Scouts Canada, to talk about the 2026 Scout Popcorn fundraiser that began on September 1st and runs through to November 3rd.

As was the case last year, groups should make sure that they are set up on My Scout Group Shop, and should register for this year’s popcorn campaign. Groups can also find information about the campaign, including brochures and order forms, on the Scouts Canada brand site. And if you have any questions, the popcorn FAQ page is available online, and the Scouts Canada support center is available to help out.

Everyone is welcome at Scouts Canada’s campfire. And sometimes, that means Scouters need to put in some extra effort to make sure that youth can take part in Scouting as they are.

Podcast Topics

Scouter Ken is joined by Stephanie Youngdale, Associate Director, Relationships & Dispute Resolution with Scouts Canada, to discuss accommodations. Not in the sense of places to stay, but in the sense of accommodating each youth member’s needs and challenges in the Scouting program we offer. Because whether a youth comes to a Scout group with economic challenges, sensory challenges, mental or physical health challenges, or anything else...everyone is welcome at the Scouts Canada campfire, and there are some quick and cost-free ways Scouters can meet youth in their needs.

In fact, Scouts Canada has a complete Member Accommodation Procedure, as well as several other helpful resources:

• Visual Communications Cards – Scouter Solutions
• Sensory Box Kits – Scouter Solutions
• Sensory Tent – Scouter Solutions
• Inclusivity Lead – Scouter Solutions
