BoyScout Troop 298 Popcorn Sales





This is how we spent last Wednesday.  Troop 298 Boy Scouts sold popcorn at the Bel Air market.  We were so impressed at how well they did.  They didnt miss one person coming in or going out of the store that day.  We started at 10:00 am and finished at 2:00 pm and sold almost $900 worth of all kinds of popcorn.  Some people were especially nice and just donated a few dollars here and there to support our boys.  Bryce decided he wanted to wear the popcorn around his neck so he and Mike rigged him up.  It was impressive when some of our boys were stopped and drilled about the scout motto, oath and law and were able to deliver on the spot.  Whew! Thank goodness they were prepared.
They made quite an impression that day.  The funds will help our boys go to scout camp this summer. Great job boys!

I love the boy scout program, it teaches these boys so much..Josh is almost ready to start on his Eagle Project. (once he decides what it is)I think it prepares them for missions and life..Good job troop 298..

Awesome! Stephen is also about ready to start on his. He is a life scout but still needs to get a couple more required merit badges left to get. Michael had his life at age 15 and waited til age 17 to work on his eagle. He just was not motivated and we decided if he really wanted it he would have to motivate himself to get it....he did eventually. Yes, I believe it is great prep for the mission. Thanks!
