Hello Leader, the Mobile
Scout Shop is providing an opportunity for the Scouting community to help local
Scout members who may be in need of uniforms and uniform items.
This help will be done
through The Holiday Giving Tree
program starting November 1 through December 17, 2022. The Holiday Giving Tree program works
on a donation basis. A Holiday Giving tree (similar to an Angel tree) will be
set up at the Scout Shop with Holiday Giving cards on it. Each card will have
the first name of the Scout along with the uniform items that they need. There
will also be a space for other items they may want such as books, crafts,
camping items, etc. Customers and Scout supporters can purchase the item(s) in
their local Scout Shop and give them to the store staff to collect for each
child.
We will keep the name of
the individual(s) confidential. Only
the store staff will have access to the Scout’s name and your contact
information. A code will be issued that will match a card in the safe that will
have your contact information, so as the donations are collected store staff
will contact you so arrangements for pickup can be made.
We need your assistance
to make this project a success. Please fill out the information below and
return to the store by November 11, 2022,
for every Scout who would benefit from donations.
If you have any concerns
or questions, please contact the store staff by email: genese.wolfenden@scouting.org. Thank you in
advance for your assistance. With leaders like you, this program will greatly
benefit our Scouting community.
