Boy Scout Popcorn Story #1

The Boy Scout organization inspires me because it teaches boys leadership, citizenship, and outdoor skills. I am a Merit Badge Counselor and my husband is an Eagle Scout and we support the annual popcorn fund raiser.

I found the stories on the back of the popcorn box inspiring, so I'm sharing with you:

Story #1: Michael's Great Adventure, Oklahoma City, OK

Michael was given $100 by his pastor and told to "Go do and do good with it." He decided to raise money to buy uniforms for 25 Scouts who couldn't afford them. He started the project with help from his family and Club Scout Pack. He sent out letters asking for donations. Michael said, "Now we have more than $7,000. We will be supplying uniforms to many boys." "Michael has a spirit that's just unreal and he represents what Scouting is all about," said one of the adults who worked with him.
