Popcorn Fundraising
|
Beginning in 1981 with just seven Scout councils, Trail's End has grown to serve more than 285 councils today. The Trail's End fund-raising program is exclusive to Scouting, and it provides all that a Scout Council and its Packs and Troops may need, from planning and budgeting guidelines to training programs for Scouts and Leaders, to the highest quality products available.
The mission of Trail's End is to help Councils and Units raise the needed funds by which they can expand programs and activities for their Scouts.
