Title: My Son is Selling Popcorn for Boy Scouts
Post by: Molsman on September 20, 2018, 01:20:50 PM
Hello all

My son Austin is Selling Popcorn for Boy Scouts this year and this is his first time and he is trying to raise enough money so he could go to a high adventure camp next year with his troop. I have attached a link for his website https://www.trails-end.com/store. Even if you do not like Popcorn you could donate to the one of the other options available and it will be sent to some of the Military organizations and to Troops over Seas.

thank you in advance

Larry

If this is not allowed Skuzzy I am sorry just trying to help my Son out

Unfortunately the scouts are not at all what they were when I was involved. I no longer support them.

Since your son chooses to participate I will however support him. I will be checking out the site and getting me some dang popcorn.  :salute Austin.

Agreed.

I dropped out of leadership over the latest nonsense.   I'm done.

(Eagle Scout with a son who is as well.)

Hey Mols, do they ship to Canada or has our NAFTA trade talks broken down so far that I can't get boy scout popcorn across the border?  :devil

Q: Can I ship my order to an APO or FPO address?

Yes, trails-end.com does allow customers to send orders to Military APO and FPO addresses. All orders sent to an APO/FPR address will ship via USPS and could take up to four weeks for delivery.

Q: Do you ship to Alaska, Hawaii and/or Puerto Rico?

Yes, customers can ship trail's end products to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

Q: Can I ship my order to an address outside of the United States?

Not at this time. trails-end.com only accepts shipping and billing addresses within the United States, Puerto Rico, and APO/FPO addresses.

When I was a little kid I used to sell flower and vegetable seeds door to door to earn money and prizes.  Now be a good parent and do what my mom did; buy most of it.

BTW I loved getting my cub scout badges/patches.

I got four bags of caramel corn with nuts.  I started out as a cub scout, then webelow, then went as far as a Star scout, then started hanging out with the wrong crowd.   :uhoh  But hey, it was the 60s.  Anyways, I have a lot of good memories of camping jamborees (summer and winter), cave exploring, etc. from the Scouts.

Cheers,  Jim  One-eye

Girl Scouts have different marketing techniques (https://johnjohns1.fjcdn.com/pictures/Girl_f99fbe_131926.jpg)

KB, you can't even get Doritos and Cheetos up there so I'm sure Boy Scout popcorn will be highly frowned upon. You may have to go to the dark web for your Boy Scout popcorn.

Austin is Really shocked with the support from my Online buddies here and he thanks you all. On a Side note he made the Rank of First Class Last night (well almost there needs the Scoutmaster Conference and BOR but his Scoutmaster told him to start working Star). I am reliving my days in Scouting with him and I am on the District Committee as the Training Dude, Also I earned my Wood Badge this year and a Proud Beaver. My Daughters are in Girl Scouts and I support them also and neither one wants to come over to the Boy Scouts. Yes Times have changed since we all went thru but we have to roll with the new Era of Scouting.

Once again thank you all for Supporting my Son Austin

I'm a bit ashamed to admit that the idea that your son was selling porn for Boy Scouts made me  :O until I took the time to properly read the title...

Father of 2 scouts here: my oldest (17) is now a leader for kids aged 6-8 (called Baladins here), and my youngest is a Baladin (...in another unit, I'm not THAT irresponsible ;) ).

Best of luck to your son, the scout experience definitely helped my oldest during some difficult teenage years....

Rolling with it is how we wound up in this mess.   We’ve let the leadership and outside pressure chip away at everything.   It’s one of the saddest things I’ve witnessed...

I understand alot of us are still wondering how it is going to pain out cause we need to have 2 Scout masters now and the Girls still have to be separate sleeping quarters.
Back to the Popcorn Austin is 1 Sale away for being qualified for a camping scholarship. Starting Tomorrow there is Free shipping on all orders placed for 24 hrs.
