Local Scout was the 2018 Top Seller in the Nation!
Beck Garnett, a Second Class Scout in Troop 444 earned the 2018 Trail’s End Popcorn Top Seller in the Nation! Beck sold $88,073 in delicious Trail’s End Popcorn in the Fall 2018 Product Sale. You won’t believe how much popcorn Beck has sold in his 8 years of Scouting… over $200,000! We are very grateful for Beck’s commitment to Scouting.
With Beck’s help and all of the other Scouts in the Heart of Virginia Council, the 2018 Product Sale exceeded our goal, all because of the hard work and dedication of our Scouts, leaders, volunteers and parents! We surpassed the $1,156,500 goal and Scouts sold over $1,195,000 in popcorn and peanuts in 2018.
