Building Character, One Scout at a Time

Jonathan decided he wanted to get a little more creative with his video message this year. Here's what he came up with. Enjoy!

Local Offering

The online offering at Trails End will change as the season changes.  Most importantly, chocolate items won't be offered until temperatures drop to avoid shipments of melted goop.  Additionally, the online site presents National product offerings and prices.

If you are live local to Pack 455 or expect to see us before the end of November, take a look at expanded Regional offering below.  If you aren't local, but see something you fancy, shoot us an email at jackatpack455@gmail.com and we'll see what we can do!

Popcorn Season is Here!

Jack loves leaping into Fall!

Greetings!  Another year of Scouting is upon us.  This year Jonathan (he's informed his mother and I that he's Jonathan now - not Jack) is a Webelos Scout - and it's looking to be an exciting year.  The boys will be learning how to cook in the woods, how to perform first aid, how to plan and execute their own outdoor trips, and how to live the Scout Law as they strive to become young men of character.

The activities we have planned for the year cost money - craft supplies, camp fees, food, and award costs all add up.  Jonathan is working hard to raise money for his Pack by selling popcorn.  He's looking forward to telling about it himself very soon.  I just wanted to take a moment and personally ask that you help him reach his goal of $1500.  Over 70% of all the sales goes back to local Scouting - over 30% directly to our Pack.  In truth - you aren't buying popcorn - you're supporting Cub Scouts.  You just get some tasty snacks for your efforts!

Keep your eyes on this page - we'll be updating it with pictures and videos as Jonathan progresses through the fundraiser.  To purchase popcorn online now - simply click the red button on the sidebar.  Thank you for your time!

- Sincerely,

     Jonathan's Dad

Harvest Hoedown Show'n'Sell

Jack and the boys from Pack 455 hit the floor selling popcorn at their school's PTO Harvest Hoedown event.

The party was blasting music, so they had to turn up their noise to 11!

Chess anyone?

One of the great things that the Popcorn Fundraiser helps pay for is our Pack's Fall and Spring camping trips.  We had over 60 people sign up for the Fall trip this year, and wouldn't you know it rained cats and dogs!  Did that stop Jack?  Nope, he just found himself a new hobby - chess.  The other parents and I were amazed to see a group of 6-10 year old boys crowded around the chess board, giving advice, or calling for "next game".  At least half of the boys involved had never even played before - they taught each other.  These kids will never cease to amaze me!

Jack didn't even stop to eat - he just chowed down while he played.  His new goal?  To beat his father...and I worry that it won't take long :(

Jack Sells Popcorn Progress Report

Jack hasn't been idle this week - he's been making flyers and videos, working at Show-N-Sells, and going door to door to raise money for his Pack and Scouting.  As you can see in the sidebar, he's off to a great start!  At the end of his first week of sales he's already 23% of the way towards his goal - almost a quarter of the way there!!!

He's not done yet though, and he still needs your help!  You can help support him by buying popcorn online, or checking out the local offering and emailing us your order to jackatpack455@gmail.com today!  Thanks you!
