SupportOurTroops.org has delivered 383 pallets of popcorn and trail mix to US Marine Corps bases across the country, thanks to the Boy Scouts and generous Americans.
Three-hundred and eighty-three pallets equals nine truck-and-trailer loads of treats from Americans who support the Boy Scouts and the troops all at the same time.
For the last several years, the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts of America have made it possible to buy popcorn for the troops by making a $25 donation. Selling popcorn is the major annual fund-raiser for the Boy Scouts.
The program has been a resounding success for both the Scouts and the soldiers. Every case of popcorn or trail mix arrives with a “Thank You” sticker to the troops on the outside.
“Thanks, Marines, and we hope it shows you how much we all appreciate you”, said Support Our Troops Chairman Martin Boire.
Examiner’s note: Please log on to SupportOurTroops.org for more ways to show your appreciation to the men and women who are serving our country. Remember at AnySoldier.com you can directly support a warrior, and their team, if they are deployed to a combat zone.

Thank you, Andrew for telling me about this program! I look forward to supporting the Scouts and the Troops again next year.
