Support Scouts and Military Families
A project of Northern Star Council, Boy Scouts of America
Help purchase gifts of popcorn to local military personnel and their families, and provide camp scholarships to at-risk youth.
Just One Click Makes Your Community Pop!
Northern Star Council’s “Give to the Max” day has a unique focus this year. Give to the Max 2011 will benefit two groups in the area we serve. Your donation will be used to purchase popcorn through our “Popcorn for Troops” program, which presents gifts of popcorn to local military personnel and their families as a thank you for their service. One third of your donation will purchase popcorn for area military families and the rest of your donation, two-thirds, will go to support Scouting, by providing camp scholarship to families experiencing financial hardships. Each year, Northern Star Council distributes over $100,000 in camp scholarships to families in need.
Also, Troop 124 from Northern Lights District will match the first $3,000 in donations through this program; so your dollars could be doubled! Click the donation button to have your donation help two deserving local groups and if you are part of the first $3,000, have your donation doubled!
This is a one-time appeal for this program and is different from our annual Friends of Scouting campaign. Thank you in advance for your support of Scouting and the Popcorn for Troops program.
