[quote=cburkhardt]Equipment and Uniform Contributions Welcomed

Yes.  Our Children could use all of your used camping equipment.  We already have applications from five under-resourced families who live in our City and who would like their girls to become Eagle Scouts someday.  They have nothing.  If you want to, swing by at 9:30 AM (just before our open house) this Saturday morning at the Church (All Souls Episcopal, 2300 Cathedral Ave., NW) and bring what you have.  We have 2 Assistant Scoutmasters who are managing our equipment acquisition and they will provide it to grateful young Scouts.  Anyone else reading this who has camping equipment in good shape that you want to contribute is invited to do the same.  These girls also need clean BSA tan uniforms -- but in the smaller sized (BSA small and medium in shirt sizes).

Scholarships

As we grow Scouts BSA Troop 248 for Girls in our City we will be further building our scholarship fund to send girls from under-resourced families to Scouts BSA summer camp and provide other activities and things for them.  Since we are new, we will not go to the community for support until later this fall, after we have a good track record and after our fall girl-member drive.  We will not engage girls in product sales.  Rather, we will have them concentrate on learning scoutcraft skills.  We adults will raise money only for the purpose of supporting these girls during a one-a-year morning coffee reception.

Again, Thank You to Everyone

I am kind of overwhelmed by the interest and kindness shown by so many on this posting.  Such a large number of very thoughtful questions and suggestions which keep on coming after a week.  [/quote]
