July 20, 2009 - Scout Troops helping Troops

Dear Scout Leaders,

The Blue Star Mothers of the Canyons are getting ready to send packages to our deployed troops on July 20th. It’s our Christmas in July mailing. We could use lots of help in collecting items to send. We have a sample list of supplies of what could be donated. We are asking troops, packs and individuals to help by donating some needed items. Supplies could be dropped off at the Scout Service Center in Newhall. Any questions please call or email me. Thanks,
