A huge hit with the troops, Operation Popcorn enhances the morale and welfare of the deployed troops worldwide by sending them a taste of home via millions of pounds of free microwave popcorn treats every year.
Americans! Scouts! Look what you have done!
In 2011 alone over $15 million worth of Trail's End popcorn was shipped to U.S. troops through Operation Popcorn!
Thank you! This morning someone brought me a tin of Trails End Caramel Corn and told me it was a gift from you for my service to our country. Tears came to my eyes! Your gift of recognition was so nice. Thank you! ~~ SMSgt Paula ---

This program serves our neighbors who are stationed and deployed around the world, at sea in international waters, in the air, in Japan, South Korea, Germany, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and the like. It also serves Guard and Reserve units and families at home by distributions to National Guard Armories, Guard Family Assistance Centers. It also serves servicemembers and their families on domestic military bases across the country by shipment, to military bases located across America. And it serves VA Hospitals, Warrior Transition Units and Veteran's Posts across America.
The program is an ongoing cooperating partnership project between Support Our Troops®, the Boy Scouts of America, and the Trail's End Popcorn Company. The program actively involves Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, and everyday folks down most every street in America. It enables people to take simple, safe, fun, specific action for the troops. Most every Scout Council in every state participates. The Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts go door to door down streets in every state and ask people if they would like to send some free popcorn or other snack treats to the troops. All shipments come with signage from us civilians here at home thanking the troops for protecting us and our families.
Who does this?
SupportOurTroops.org, the Boy Scouts of America, and Trail's End® Popcorn team up to pull this off yearly. Support Our Troops Chairman Martin C. Boire says "We are immensely grateful to the Boy Scouts of America, to Trail's End Popcorn, and to the general public, without which Operation Popcorn would not be possible. We especially commend the hard work and diligence of the Scouts who have helped us deliver millions of delicious popcorn treats to the men and women of the military over the last few years."
Who manufactures it? Nothing but the best for our troops! Trail's End Popcorn has been in partnership with the Boy Scouts of America for over 30 years, helping local councils raise the money they need to fund their programs. Produced by Weaver Popcorn Company, Inc., an 80-year old, family-owned company located in Indiana and one of the largest manufacturers of popcorn in the world, Trail's End is committed to providing the healthiest, best-tasting snacks for Scouts to sell to their customers. All of Trail's End snacks contain 0g trans fat, the microwave popcorn and cheese corn are made with canola oil, the caramel corn is naturally sweetened using tapioca syrup, and the chocolate snacks use no hydrogenated oils.
So where does all this popcorn come from? Only from you doing this!
