2018 POPCORN SALES A HUGE SUCCESS!

Special thanks to our Council, District, and Unit Popcorn Kernals for a Great Job!

Units in the Mount Baker Council sold more than $1,000,000 of popcorn to thousands of friends, families, and the community in 2018! T hat is a 6% growth over 2017 sales, and helps the Council meet their goals of partnering with all units.

More importantly, this results in over $330,000 in unit commissions, which will help our Packs, Troops, Crews, and Ships to deliver the promise of Scouting with high quality, character building programs.

COUNCIL CELEBRATES 50 YEARS WITH FLUKE AND THE TREE OF GIVING

For 50 years the Tree of Giving, the Fluke Corporation, and the Mount Baker

Council have been making a difference in the lives of the those within the community.

Throughout our community, there are numerous people facing many ch allenges who don ' t receive Christmas or holiday gifts. W e ' re hoping, through your generosity, that you can make it a bright holiday for them.

For 50 years, the Fluke Corporation has partnered with the Mount Baker Counci l Boy Scouts and the Everett Mall to bring the Tree of Giving to life. This year we hope t o bring smiles to over 1000 people from Snohomish, King and Skagit counties. To get involved, simply visit the Everett Mall and select a tag from one of the multiple trees throughout the mall. Purchase the gift and put it under the tree. Each gift should be gift-wrapped with the gift tag attached. These gifts benefit

people in senior centers, children in group homes, homeless teens, as well as cancer and brain damage v ictims in rehabilitation centers, who would not normally receive a present without the community 's generosity.

The deadline for gifts is 10 pm on Monday, December 17 th . Join the Scouts of the Mount Baker Council on the evening of Wednesday, December 19 th as they sort and deliver the gifts to the community organizations.

The annual Tree of Giving is an opportunity to make a difference in our co mmunity. We hope you will join the Mount Baker Council, BSA, the Fluke Corp oration and the Everett Mall in the spirit of giving this holiday season.
