Popcorn Season Is Underway!

The popcorn season is officially underway, and Scouts across the Garden State Council are getting their sales started!

With units signing up, Scouts hitting the ground selling, and the first sales rolling in, the leaderboard is starting to take shape. Every sale brings Scouts one step closer to their goals and helps make future Scouting adventures possible.

Is your unit ready to join the competition? Make sure your unit is signed up with Trail’s End and get your Scouts ready to start selling!

🍿 OUR SCOUTS ARE POPPIN’ OFF! 🍿

We don’t mean to be corny, but we are absolutely BURSTING with pride over how hard our Scouts have been working on popcorn sales! 🌽

They’ve been poppin’ around town, talking to customers, making sales, and raising money to help fund all the adventures, activities, equipment, and opportunities that keep our troop poppin’ all year long.

And frankly, their effort has been a-maize-ing.

To every Scout who has put in the time: you’re kind of a big kernel. 🌽😎

To every parent who has driven to sales, hauled popcorn, helped with orders, and heard the phrase “Would you like to support Scouting?” approximately 4,782 times: thanks for sticking with us through thick and thin… and cheddar and caramel. 😂

And to everyone who has supported our Scouts by buying popcorn: THANK YOU! Every bag, tin, and kernel helps our Scouts get out there and DO Scouting.

So keep going, Scouts!

🍿 Pop it like it’s hot.
🌽 Seize the kernel.
🍿 Don’t stop ’til you get enough.
🌽 There’s no kernel of truth to the rumor that we’ve run out of popcorn puns.
🍿 We’re just getting popping.

Okay. We’ll stop now.

We know these jokes are butterly ridiculous.

…Sorry. We cracked under the pressure. 🍿😂

LET’S GO, SCOUTS! KEEP POPPIN’!

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS, NYLT GRADUATES! ⚜️

This week, two of our Scouts took on an incredible challenge and successfully completed National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT) at Pine Hill!

NYLT isn’t just another week at camp. It’s an intensive leadership experience built around communication, teamwork, problem-solving, planning, servant leadership, and learning how to help a group succeed together.

For an entire week, these Scouts stepped outside their normal troop environment, worked alongside Scouts from other units, took on new challenges, and invested in becoming stronger and more thoughtful youth leaders.

We are incredibly proud of them for putting in the work, embracing the experience, and completing the course.

But the best part of NYLT is what happens after the course ends.

We can’t wait to see them bring their new skills, ideas, confidence, and leadership back to Troop 42 — and put them to work alongside their fellow Scouts.

Congratulations to our newest NYLT graduates! 🎓⚜️

The adventure continues…and now they have a few more tools in the toolbox.
