🇺🇸 VFW Community Update – Pack 221 Out & About This October

VFW family:

Our Scouts will be out every Friday and Saturday throughout October at the III Armored Corps Express (Gas Station) and the Fort Hood Clear Creek Exchange selling popcorn and accepting donations. There is absolutely no requirement to buy or donate — your support can be as simple as stopping by to say hello.

One of the biggest lessons we teach during popcorn season is confidence through interaction. When you see our Scouts out and about, taking a moment to engage them helps reinforce the skills we’re working hard to build:

• Eye contact — showing respect and presence
• A proper handshake — practicing courtesy and professionalism
• Speaking with confidence — learning to communicate clearly with adults

These small moments of encouragement go a long way in helping our youth grow into capable, confident members of the military community.

Thank you for supporting Pack 221 and the families we serve. Your presence matters more than any popcorn sale ever could.

On RED Friday, Texas VFW reminds you to Remember Everyone Deployed.

Wearing red each Friday is a simple way to honor the service members deployed around the world, and to remind their families that they are not forgotten.

Wear red. Remember everyone deployed. Until they all come home.
