Boy Scouts Popcorn Now Available Online

Online, September 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Starting this year, consumers can now order gourmet popcorn and other tasty treats from the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) via their online website. With this new online ordering system, BSA can take their fundraising product to people all over America.

We all know that girl scouts sell cookies every year to raise money for their many activities. We see them in front of supermarkets and shopping centers every year. In the fall, we may also come upon boy scouts and cub scouts selling popcorn, almonds, yogurt covered pretzels, and trail mix, in these same locations. For most scout troops and packs, this is their only fundraising event for the year.

Now that an online ordering website has been established, consumers do not need to find a scout or wait for one to knock on their door.

While the Boy Scouts' annual fundraiser is not as widely known as the Girl Scouts', it is every bit as vital to the continuation of scouting in America. Profits from this event assist scouts from all across America with their educational activities, overnight trips, camps, achievement requirements, and to obtain much needed supplies. Over 70% of the revenue from these sales goes directly to local scouting.

In addition to purchasing these snacks, consumers may also make a military donation right online, which will provide these tasty treats to our men & women fighting for our country. This is one more way for Americans to say "Thank You" to our troops who sacrifice so much of themselves.

2010 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of scouting. Even in these hard economic times, everyone can lend a hand to continue the scouting adventure. More information about Scout sponsored popcorn and military donations can be found at http://www.CubScoutGourmetPopcorn.com.
