Area Boy Scouts are participating in a popcorn fundraiser and will be heading to area neighborhoods in hopes of helping to achieve their Scouting goals.

Not only is the popcorn a delicious treat, the fundraiser helps pave the way for youth to reach goals they set for themselves throughout the coming year.

Some Scouts choose to use their popcorn accounts to pay for special activities, while others choose a new uniform or equipment.

For other Scouts, the funds raised from selling popcorn offer their only opportunity to attend summer camp, a weeklong program where they gain valuable character attributes and skills.

Whether their dreams are big or small, community support of the fundraiser helps make a difference in Scouting by helping them to achieve their goals.
