Reminder- Toiletry Drive for Hope of the Valley at Nov Pack Meeting 11/18

Dear Pack 310 families,

Reminder-- please bring your toiletry donations to the Nov. 18th pack meeting.
 
The Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission in Sunland provides transitional housing for homeless individuals and families. Pack 310 collects personal toiletries for their family residents at our November Pack Meeting (Thanks & Giving). We started this annual Pack 310 tradition in 2013.





Here is the suggested donation list:
  • Toothbrush
  • Toothpaste
  • Deodorant
  • Soap
  • Shampoo
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Band-Aids
  • Diapers & baby wipes
  • Lip balm
  • Comb or hairbrush

The boys should be involved in purchasing the items, rather than just the parents. The dollar store is perfect for this, for example, we allow our son to pick out $5 worth of items to donate. We encourage you to have a conversation with your Scout about helping those in need. What would it be like to not have soap? Or a toothbrush? We often take what we have for granted.

We will have a drop-off bin at the pack meeting. Please be sure to have your participating Scout sign in on the sign-in sheet when they drop off their items, as they will earn their Messengers of Peace award for participating in this service project (and/or Scouting for Food). Our goal is for 100% of Pack 310's Scouts to earn this meaningful service award. Thank you!

Scouting for Food Reminder! Sat.11/5 & Sat. 11/12

Hello Pack 310 families,
Your den leader will be contacting your den about Scouting for Food.

Scouting for Food is a food drive organized by the Boy Scouts of America. It is a nation-wide event that benefits our own communities, the food we collect goes to food pantries in our Foothill area.

Saturday, November 5th at 9am- Together with your den, Scouts will drop off empty bags provided by your den leader. The bags will be left on porches in a designated residential neighborhood, your den leader will inform you where to meet. Scouts must be in full uniform.

Saturday, November 12th at 10am- Together with your den, Scouts will pick up full bags of donated food. Scouts must be in full uniform. Your den leader will organize delivering the food bags to a specific collection point. We ask that each Scout family brings their own bag of food from home to donate.

See you there!
