Yes, from Trail's End software perspective, two or more units can work together during the popcorn fundraiser. However, there are important steps and considerations leaders need to be aware of before combining units.

Before taking any action in the platform, unit leaders must get approval from their Council. Not all Councils allow units to combine, as it can affect Council-level incentives and tracking. Leaders should reach out to their Council directly to confirm this is permitted.

How units are combined depends on whether any fundraising activity has already taken place.

If no sales, storefronts, or unit orders have been recorded, combining units is straightforward. All individuals from one unit can simply be moved into the other unit within the platform. See Managing Your Scout Roster

If either unit has recorded any sales, storefront reservations, or unit orders, the process is more complex. In this case, leaders should start a chat with our team before making any changes. We can help assess whether combining is feasible and advise on next steps.
