I am a former scout mom. We never participated in the popcorn sales. You get very little popcorn for a lot of money. If the scouts don't sell all the popcorn, it comes out of the Pack's general fund, not the scouts pockets. It sounds like the Pack may have over ordered. There are better fund raisers than this. The fund raising activities are arranged by the adult leaders. The proceeds go to the scout activities. The parents can some up with the fund raising activates and submit them to the packs committee.
