Scout Charity Pack Event – Shoebox Gifts for Kids November 14th 1-3pm
Hi Scout Families!
We will be packing shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items and other small gifts. This is a charity through Samaritan’s Purse. Shoeboxes have been sent to needy children in countries such as Bosnia, Zimbabwe and Columbia in the past, each year the deliveries vary as needed. This is a fun event for the boys to imagine where these boxes will end up.
Here is a list by den of supplies for kids to bring – we are aiming to fill 30 boxes and will also use some of the old den number shirts. Den leaders, you could help by further breaking down the den items into kids.
Tigers - bouncy balls ,hard candy and lollipops, mints
Wolves- 30 pencil sharpeners, 30 boxes of crayons
Bears- markers (enough for all boxes), 30 small notebooks or writing pads, socks (30 pair)
Webelos 8- 50 pencils, 30 erasers, 30 ziplock bags (to contain candy)
Webelos 7- socks (15) pair, toothbrushes (25), toothpaste (25)
Webelos 6- bar soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, 50 large rubber bands
*each boy should bring a box or 2, 1-5 pre-owned mint condition hotwheels or matchbox cars, any stuffed animals that are in mint condition, and or one or more special items of their choice
Anyone who has items in bulk that could work in a shoe box should speak up, it would be much appreciated!
