@caliprince up for Cub Scouts this year. I figured it was a good program for longitudinal learning and development, He’s excited about archery, and camping. I’m excited about doing these things with him, and him not looking at a screen for entertainment.
Which brings us to fundraising. Popcorn style.
Here’s the pitch… click the link below. Peruse the offerings. If you buy some popcorn, I’ll match your purchase, dollar for dollar, with a contribution to OBR. Or, with a contribution to any organisation of your choice.
caliprince is doing his bit, by pitching to his aunts, our neighbors, and anyone else he can roll a wagon up to, into buying some popcorn.

I'm guessing the challenges in the Houston area are much larger than he faced.
I am assuming (hate that word) that the above link is a direct shot to him and his pack. I went down this road with Girl Scout cookies earlier this year as the pandemic precluded face-to-face point of sales.
Gotta give them credit for the price point and the free shipping carrot. Just beyond reach "without one more buy!"
I am in-just need to decide what I will use for Xmas presents.
The easy option would be for me to just write a check for $200, and not worry about selling any popcorn at all. But, what fun would that be?
caliprince attended his first eggfest at Salado, when he was 3 months old. caliqueen got his shots done early, so she'd feel better about him being there. Yes, I'm playing the little violins, but, for more than one good cause.
My nephew is an Eagle Scout. caliprince may make it that far. Even if he doesn't, I hope scouting will be a fruitful endeavour for him.
Edit: for anyone else, be aware that the pop-up buying suggestions are ever present. Won't suck your wallet dry like this site but they are making a push
Please let me know if you would like my matched contribution to go to an organization other than OBR. If not, I'll send it out to OBR in the morning.
I'll PM you.
I pm'ed you the receipt of my match to OBR.
Thanks, again.
Funny that you should mention that. He already knows the Bristol Stool Scale (no... I'm not kidding).

I Cub Scouts wear blue, and then tan/brown uniforms when they are older Boy Scouts. Not sure. I'm new to all this.
I just saw that there are options on the website to donate to Hurricane Ida relief. You can also send popcorn, or other treats, to first responders, military personnel/families, and veterans' organizations. Click the link above, and you can make a selection on that page.
So, if popcorn isn't your jam, you've got options.
Thanks, piney, for helping me figure this out.
Please PM me, if you would like my matching contribution to go to an organization other than OBR.
caliprince is tickled that eggheads are pitching in
