Montanans purchase record amount of Boy Scout popcorn: $1.9 million

The total gross sales for this year’s Boy Scout popcorn sale are a record $1,920,507.  Scouts showed an increase of $148,368 over last year’s sales of $1,772,139.

"This could not happen without all our great Scouts getting out there and doing their best. In these trying and uncertain economic times, you have all proven once again that Montana supports Scouting,” said Kerry Ketchum, Montana Council Popcorn Kernal. “This goes much deeper than just a popcorn sale. This is a reflection that people realize we are providing an outstanding program to tomorrow's leaders!" 

Montana Scouts depend heavily on the proceeds from the sale to help pay for their basic Scouting needs, such as summer camps, leadership courses, and materials for local community service projects. Of the $1.9 million, more than $1,340,000 stays right here in Montana to fund these needs. 

This year’s top Scout salesman will be announced as soon as that Scout’s name is known.  Last year’s top salesman was Jaben Wood, Troop 1933, Kalispell, who sold $16,400 of popcorn.

The popcorn will be delivered in the next three weeks. The Montana Council Boy Scouts thank everyone who supported this year’s popcorn sale!
