¢Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in the area are expected to hit the streets beginning today to sell popcorn in support of local Scouting units. The sale, sponsored by the Heart of America Council, is the one coordinated areawide fundraising project that helps units earn money for trips, projects and equipment.

Until Oct. 27, Scouts in uniform will be going door-to-door as well as setting up at local businesses to sell Trails End Popcorn.
