FUNdraising: Popcorn sales have started. This the Pack’s main fundraiser and it’s important that each scout sell at least $250 worth of popcorn. There are three ways to sell: in person, store front sales and online. The Trails End app has made it easier than ever to take orders and sign up for store front shifts. They have some training videos on how to sell. Key dates: October 18th in-person order deadline, November 17th popcorn order pick up. See our upcoming events for more information.
