More about our service project

• For the last nine years, we have joined together
  with The Giving Tree (our local newspapers
  annual service project) and adopted two families
  per year. We set aside funds from each years
  product sales to accomplish this.

• We purchase necessary clothing, toiletries,
  toys, games, and food for these families. Our
  troop comes together to shop, wrap, and deliver
  these gifts. It is eye opening to see the living
  conditions of the families, and heart warming to
  know weve made a difference in their lives.

EVALUATION

  earn enough to enable us to help two families and
  travel to San Diego.
• We learned it is ok if you do not reach your
  goal and to not get discouraged. It is all a
  learning process.
• We also learned we should keep our cool
