The Belleville Boy Scouts Troop 61 is currently facing the challenge of adapting programming and providing activities during the pandemic. Their biggest challenge is fundraising. In the past, the troop has sold popcorn door to door and at booths, as well as holding their yearly chili/taco dinner in conjunction with the Belleville Kiwanis - events that haven’t been able to take place this year. Both events serve to support many of their costs of the scouts’ yearly programming.

The Scouts are having an online popcorn sale this year. Please visit https://www.trails-end.com/store/scout. Then enter scout name Dallas Ziegler using the zip code 53508. All funds raised will be split between Belleville Troop 61 and Pack 61.

The Boy Scouts will be picking up your donated food items for their annual food drive on Saturday morning, March 27th. This annual event benefits the Belleville Food Pantry; please leave your donations on your front steps or porch, pick up will be after 9:00 a.m.
