Popcorn Sales Support the Boy Scouts

Janet Trieschman
Have you been asked to buy popcorn from a Boy Scout? If you have, you are probably familiar with the Trail Ends name. Their slogan is "America's Best Popcorn". They have supported the Boy Scouts for over thirty years by providing popcorn for the Scouts fall popcorn sales. The fall fundraiser helps to fund scout troop activities like camps, uniforms and equipment they need. Seventy percent of each purchase you make is returned to your local scout troop. Your purchase helps support activities that build character and help scouts grow into well-rounded adults.

Would you like to support your local boy scouting troop but didn't get the opportunity to purchase popcorn? Did you know you could do so online? Trails End Popcorn has an online store where you can choose which council you would like your purchase to support. You can even send your purchase as a present to another address or support the military.

The link above will allow you to choose your local council. Or, you could choose a different council and support a council in another state, maybe where a family friend is from. If you would like to support a local troop specifically, you can get an order key that specifically supports the Scout, Troop or Pack; just contact your local council and ask for the specific key you need to do so. While ordering online does include a shipping fee, it does come right to your door; or you can order and have it delivered to a family member or friend. The door-to-door sales do not offer this shipping opportunity, which makes gift giving easier and one to consider for holiday gift giving.

Orderpopcorn.com offers a variety of microwave popcorn packages in three different flavors. These are butter, butter light and kettle flavored microwave popcorn. The other popcorn options are provided in decorative tins. They are listed in four categories: chocolate, cheese, caramel and popping corn. Finally, the last option is trail mix or to donate to the military where your money is used to send Tails End popcorn products to the military through the Support our Troops program. The military donation program does not have a shipping and handling fee. What better way to support two great programs, the scouts and the military.

Trails End wants you to be happy with your purchase. Should there ever be a problem or question, you can contact them directly at support@orderpopcorn.com or by calling 1.800.782.4255.

    This year we have so many people and charities asking for help. Today we adopted a 5 year old girl for Christmas and I went out and bought gifts for her. Len has been helping the veterans and the shriners. I told him that we have to ease off now. Susie.
