Family in need of help - house fire

Dear Scout families,

One of the Scout families (Edward and Robert Grimm) in Troop 391 had a devastating loss yesterday when their house caught fire and was destroyed. Luckily, their two boys were away at school and the mother was able to get out of the house safely. However, all of their belongings are a total loss.

I'm hoping that Scouters in the WLACC can provide some assistance to the family in the form of donations of equipment, or gift cards to purchase clothing and school supplies and other necessities for the family.

I know that the Scouting family has come through in the past and I'm praying that we can help a much deserving family. This is one of my most active families and these two boys are always there to help others, work at their church, and other community activities.

Donations can be turned in at the BSA office or to myself and we will see that it gets to the family as soon as possible.

Thank you.

April Barr
Scoutmaster
