How does a Scout record a Heroes and Helpers™ Donation?

Heroes and Helpers™ allows customers to purchase popcorn that will be sent to military personnel, first responders and/or food banks. Trail’s End will ship the product to these organizations. Heroes and Helpers™ can be tracked in the Trail’s End app so Scouts earn rewards on all Heroes and Helpers™ sales. 

For 2025, Scouts earn an additional .5 points for every $1 of Heroes and Helpers™ sold!
