You can buy specialty papers that are pre-printed with designs and have
folds already impressed.. here is a site that you could look at..
http://www.paperdirect.com/..
The choice for paper available at the local office supply store would be a
relatively heavy paper that will not 'print through'.. anything 90 gram and
above would be a good choice.. if you have access to a paper folder, all the
better..
Remember that for best effect, a brochure should look and feel
'professional', even if it is only for your local scout troop..
