( . THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2011 Scouts selling popcorn, holding open house This year, Boy Scout customers can again donate pop- com to go to U.S. military personnel around the world. \This is the fifth year for our military program, and it's really a ~Vin-win-win situation,\ John Wojciechowicz, Council Executive of the Allegheny Highlands Council, said. \People can purchase popcorn for the men and women serving our country and support local Scouting at the same time. And they will know they're benefiting two great institutions in one generous act. In the first four years of the sale, over $26 million dollars worth of pop- com has gone to the military and their families as a result of t~e Boy Scouts efforts around the country.\ This fall, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will introduce a new lineup of Trail's End popcorn products for their annu- al fundraiser. Since 1980, Americans have supported scouting with their Pl!rchases of Trail's End microwave popcorn and ready to eat popcorn treats. On sale in October and early November, Scouts have every reason to believe the public will be pleased. The Trail's End popcorn sale helps pay for local Scouting programs in communities all across the Twin Tiers and the country, and Scouts enjoy a great return on their sale, with more than 70 percent of the purchase price going to fund local Scouting. The new Trail's End products have better flavor, are better for you and come in all-new packaging. And con- sumers will, on average, get 20 percent more product than before. · Unbelievable butter microwave, butter light microwave and ready to eat cheese corn are now made with canula oil, with zero grams trans fat and low saturated fat. The microwave products have new \butter burst\ flavoring wfth a more robust butter flavor. Trail's End caramel corn is made with natural sweeteners, and Trail's End choco- late products contain, no hydrogenated oils. Also, microwave kettle corn is making a comeback this fall, by popular demand. All of the ready to eat products have beautiful new· packaging that's better for the environment because less packaging waste ends up in landfills. Traditional metal canisters have been replaced with bags that are re-closable for freshness, a hit with consumers. All of the Trail's End packaging now displays photos of scouts and describes the benefits of scouting to boys and to their communities. TraW& End is sold exclusively by Boy Scouts across the United St~,t\es. For more in~ormation about scouts selling ~ and where to get the healthiest wopcom in America, and to ,send popcorn to our troops, .please contact the Scout Service Certter.at 665.BOYS(2697). Open houses scheduled for scouting programs The Allegheny Hig)llands Council, Boy' Scouts of America is now orga!\ifing and conducting recruiting dri- ves for youth and their parents through it's 150 Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, Venture Crews and Explorer Posts. \Our goal is to share with every family in our five county area the many oppmtunities available to their chil- dren through our various programs\ Wojciechowicz said. \The scouting calendar coincides with the school calen- dar, and we are now~ging in new members by the hun- dreds. Scouting is nothing but a, lot of fun for kids, and for parents we feel good that they are learning and doing things that are worthwhile.\ Cub Scouting is for boys ages 7 to 10, or in first grade and not yet 11.
