Cub Scout Pack 261—which the staff of the Tucson Weekly will be getting to know, because they’ll be taking a tour of Weekly World Central next month—is in full swing for Operation Popcorn!

The pack collects money to help with fundraising and supporting our troops. Each year, Trails End Popcorn sends popcorn to troops serving overseas and donations benefit both groups.

Every little bit adds up and will be used to brighten our troops holiday season. Send donations to Pack 261, P.O. Box 35039, Tucson AZ 85754-5039. Amounts of $30 will get a tax receipt if requested.

    Huh? Explanation, please, Dan Gibson…

  4. Mentioning Boy Scouts who are selling popcorn for troops is somehow connected to the perpetuation of the war in Afghanistan? Explanation please, Red Star…

  5. Red Star is glad to see that you finally took the time to read the linked article at The Atlantic.

    Along the way (two minutes), you apparently felt the need to knee-jerk and slyly imply that Red Star is “on something.”

    Can USA afford popcorn wars?
