The Cherokee Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America teamed up with Chattanooga Bakery to launch a MoonPie selling campaign to raise funds for local troops. The “Shoot for the Moon” fundraiser runs through Oct. 27.
Local Scouts will sell door-to-door in their neighborhoods and also will set up booths on the weekends at local businesses to sell MoonPies. Packs and troops will receive a portion of proceeds from each sale.
Jared Pickens, Scout executive/CEO of the Cherokee Area Council, said he’s excited about the partnership.
“The 100% local nature of this sale truly epitomizes Scouting values and the spirit of Chattanooga,” Pickens said. “We love that when people buy MoonPies from a Scout, their dollar stays 100% local. It goes to the Scout, to the local council and even to workers at Chattanooga Bakery.”
