A unit kernel is a person who organizes and manages a unit’s popcorn sale for Scouting. Their responsibilities include:

Planning: Developing a plan to use all fundraising methods, such as online, take order, wagon sales and storefront sales. This includes setting goals, booking storefront sites, and managing inventory.
Promotion: Ensuring the unit’s popcorn sale is promoted.
Reporting: Reporting unit sales and orders in a timely manner.
Payment: Ensuring popcorn payments are made.
Prizes: Handling prizes for the sale.
Money collection: Collecting and tallying money by the unit’s due date.
Order pickup: Scheduling someone to pick up the order on the designated date and time.

Unit kernels can also help scouts prepare for the sale by training them to be polite, wear their uniforms, and keep the Scout Law in mind.
