Popcorn Update

Thank you to everyone who has been selling popcorn, particularly at the show and sells. Take orders, including payment, are due by Wednesday October 27th at the troop meeting. This can be done directly in your scout’s Trail’s End App. We still have some Caramel Corn and Unbelievable Butter (microwave) on hand, but any other items you may want or need will need to be ordered this week. You can continue selling online and points will continue to be added to your balance for Amazon gift cards until November 11th. Lots of scouts are close to the next level, and we already have some who qualify for council level incentives, so it would be great to add to that number! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Wrona at 508-244-7336 or jkwronausa@gmail.com.
