Boy Scouts kick off annual popcorn sale

Montana Council’s Boy Scouts kicked off their annual popcorn sale Sept. 24.

The popcorn sale provides scouts the opportunity to earn funds for camp, projects and leadership training. Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts (including female scouts) will be going door to door taking orders for the popcorn. New this year is trail mix and the return of some popcorn tins.

Online sales are available at www.trails-end.com. The sale ends Oct. 16.

In 2015, Montanans bought $1.9 million worth of Boy Scout popcorn. More than 70 percent of the total sales goes back to local scouting. More information can be found at www.montanabsa.org.
