Trails End Popcorn - Annual Opportunity
Although not an official fundraiser of the Boy Scouts of America at the national level, more than 300 individual councils have made arrangements with Weaver Popcorn Company to sell "Trails-End" Popcorn. This has given Boy Scouting an annual fundraising opportunity that has evolved into a tradition almost as recognized and anticipated as the annual Girl Scout Cookie Sales.
Not only do the Scout and his Unit benefit from these sales, but, the local council also generates operating revenue. Many web sites have been developed to give Scouts & Scout leaders innovative ideas and creative ways to maximize their popcorn success.
If you have a success story on a web page, we want to hear from you as well. The ideas in this collection of web links can help your unit become more successful with this fundraiser.
