A small percentage of the money raised is used to cover the cost of the popcorn and the remainder goes to sponsoring events for the Boy Scouts throughout the year, in particular, an opportunity to attend summer camp at Owasippe Scout Reservation. Owasippe is the oldest continually operated Boy Scout camp in the United States, celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2011.  

“As a former Boy Scout and now Assistant Scout Master myself, when the Chicago Area Council BSA approached me I was very excited because I knew we could definitely assist given our resources and abilities,” said John Calhoun Head of Handling & IIS for DHL Global Forwarding North America. “Thanks to the blessing of our Station Manager Dominic Giannola, DHL has been participating for the last few years, twice a year in this initiative that is part of an organization that helps enrich the lives of these boys.”  

The primary goal for DHL Global Forwarding’s Intercontinental Integrated Services (IIS) in North America is to utilize existing warehouse capacity to provide value added services to transportation customers and to bundle this service with other DHL core products to new customers seeking customized solutions.
