NORTON SHORES, MI - He's done it again - but this time, it's bigger.

Boy Scout Mason Schlafer, 11, of Norton Shores, is the top seller in the nation and has broken a national record for the Boy Scouts of America's popcorn sales. He sold more than $57,000-worth of popcorn.

In 2016, Schlafer sold more than $20,000-worth, which made him the top seller in the Boy Scouts of America Central Region. It was enough to fund the purchase of 10 years' worth of Pinewood Derby trophies for Troop 1053.

That broke the previous regional, 13-state popcorn sales record of $18,730.

His motivation this year was to purchase tents and provide camp scholarships for his troop.

"The reason Mason was going after the tents is that we went to the Upper Peninsula for eight days to attend a summer camp and it rained for six of those eight days and the troop's tents, which are nearly 20 years old, were leaking," said Matt Schlafer, Mason's father. "Mason came away with the feeling that he could make an impact by buying new tents for the troop."

Mason will be the guest of the Trails End Popcorn Company, which supplies popcorn to troops in Michigan, at a nationwide conference in February. There, he will share his popcorn-selling success story.

"Last year he was OK with his success and what he had done," Matt Schlafer said. "We thought he left a lot of meat on the bone, to say the least. He wanted to be No. 1 pretty bad."

This year's success was a result of repeat and new customer, and an expanded geographic territory.
