Our Goal: In order to pay for all the things mentioned above our goal is for each boy to sell $250.00 or more of popcorn (If there is more than one scout in the family the goal for the entire family is at least $400.00). If we don’t raise the money through fund raising our only choice will be to raise the pack dues. Please help us keep that from happening by helping your son(s) reach his goal. Thank you for all you do to get your son to scouting events. Help us to make this pack the best it can be for him by getting involved yourself. At popcorn pick-up, we will be handing out sheets of “Thank you”s for your Scout can write a note to the purchaser thanking them for buying popcorn and supporting Cub Scouts – One to be included in each order!
