Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts across the Northern Lights Council are going door-to-door selling Trail's End popcorn to fund their Scouting activities. Many packs and troops rely on this annual sale to support their activities like the Pinewood Derby and camp throughout the entire year. The sale also allows individual Scouts to earn prizes and scholarship money for college.
The money raised is used for uniforms, camping trips and outings, or other expenses. More than 70 percent of the money raised stays in the local area.
Customers also have the option of sending popcorn treats to U.S. armed forces stationed all over the world. Customers will be able to support the troops by making a donation of $30 or $50 and Trail's End will ship popcorn directly to the military. In 2010, the Northern Lights Council shipped $65,525 worth of popcorn overseas.
