What helps fuel Pack 8? POPCORN! Popcorn sales provide much of the funding for Pack 8 (there is a direct-fee alternative for busy families) and it also provides funding for the Boy Scouts of America. There are opportunities for Scouts to earn great prizes and those Scouts who sell over $1,000 worth of Popcorn become members of the Millenium Club and eligible for a special outing, such as a visit to the US Whitewater Center. Popcorn season runs from the first Saturday in October to Veteran's Day in November. In addition, when the Pack meets its goal, there is a tradition for the Cubmaster to do something pretty crazy, like our previous Cubmaster's pledge to dye his hair blue & gold! /center>
