Local Scouts kick off annual popcorn sale
The Buffalo Trails Council of the Boy Scouts of America kicked off their
annual sale of Trail's End Gourmet Popcorn, recently. The sale lasts through
Nov. 14.
Scout Executive for the Buffalo Trails Council, indicated the Scout's
popcorn sale helps to provide supplemental income to finance Scouting activities
for the Council, as well as individual Scouting Units.
"Escalating program costs, the need for camping equipment and maintenance,
as well as continued growth in youth participation, have prompted the Executive
Board of the Council to seek additional sources of support," said Rey Galindo,
Scout Executive of the Sand Hills and Big Bend districts.
"The local Scouts give a lot to our community, and by helping to support
them, you are actually helping the city of Pecos," says Jay Spence, the
Cub Master of Pack 191. "And what better way to help than through the purchase
of popcorn?"
Last year the Buffalo Trails Council sold over 38,000 containers of
Trail's End Popcorn and raised more than $88,000 for Council and Local
Unit activities. The Council has a set a goal of $100,000 for this year.
"We appreciate the support that our scouting activities have received
from the community and wish to express our thanks to everyone who participates,"
said Galindo. "When the Scout comes to your door, welcome him. It's some
of the highest quality popcorn you can buy," he said.
For more information, or if you are not contacted by a Scout, call
