Popcorn Sales
The popcorn sale has been a big success! Total sales for 2009 are $13,612. We also collected $955 in popcorn donations for our troops in Iraq. Congratulations to everyone who participated.

Kroger Cards
Since we started the program in October of 2008, we've obtained over $7,012.17 from using the Kroger cards. It's a great opportunity to add money to your son's account, to be used for paying camping fees, dues, and other Scout-related expenses.  Please see Mrs. Carpenter at a Troop Meeting if you'd like to purchase gift cards for a dollar.
