Boy Scouts Kickoff Annual Popcorn Fundraiser

Online, September 17, 2010 (Newswire.com) - It is well known that the girl scouts sell cookies every year to raise money for their many activities. What is not as well known is that the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of America also have an annual fundraiser by selling treats such as popcorn, almonds, and chocolate covered pretzels from Trails-End. The people who purchase these goodies can enjoy delicious gourmet popcorn at home in a variety of flavors.

This is the one time per year that all scouts participate in a similar fundraising activity. For many scout troops and packs, this is their only fundraising event for the year.

Profits from this event assist scouts from all across America participate in educational activities, overnight trips, camps, achievements, and to obtain much needed supplies. The Boy Scouts of America like to point out that over 70% of the revenue from these sales goes directly to local scouting. This is such an important part of helping young boys become young men that we can all be proud of.

In addition to purchasing these snacks, consumers may also make a military donation, which will provide these tasty treats to our men & women fighting for our country. This is another way for Americans to feel good about supporting their troops who sacrifice so much of themselves.

The scouts want to encourage all Americans to help them celebrate 2010, which is the 100th anniversary of the birth of scouting. In these hard economic times, everyone's support is critical to continue the scouting adventure. Anyone can assist by purchasing Scout sponsored popcorn at http://www.CubScoutGourmetPopcorn.com.
