Popcorn

Each year, Scouts across the Great Lakes Council take to the streets selling popcorn. As always, the primary goal is to help Scout packs, troops and crews raise the money needed to fund their programs and activities throughout the year. Your popcorn purchase helps to pay for the activities Scouts do, for the camps they attend, and for the equipment they need, like canoes, tents and uniforms. 

Across America, Scouts and leaders have increased their popcorn sales each year, and at the same time they have watched their Scouting programs expand.

Mystery House Program Has Begun

The Mystery House Program is a volunteer lead game that aimes to create more fun and excitement around the popcorn sale. The clues are meant to be somewhat difficult and often educational. We hope that hunting for a Mystery House will be a memorable experience for parents and Scouts alike!

A Scout that approaches one of the selected homes, and asks them to purchase some Trail's End Popcorn will be awarded a special prize on site!

Mystery Houses (by District)will be available starting September 28 through October 27. Clues for each week must be answered by the next week. For instance, this Friday's clue's (September 28), must be answered by Friday, October 5. The first person who submits and answers the clue correctly automatically win the Mystery House Program for that week. One submission per person, per unit please!
