Hello Scouts—
Once again we are participating in gathering shoeboxes for Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child. BSA-787 has been helping this effort since 1997!
Everything you need to know is on the attached flyer.
- What to include
- What NOT to include
- Collection DAY (18 NOV)
I will be at the meeting tonight, 10/14/2025, with boxes—and to pray with you—and to answer any questions. These boxes (about 11 Million last year) get delivered to boys/girls all over the world (more than 170 countries!). Please join us.
Please finish filling your box and bring it to the 18 NOV meeting. This effort, Operation Christmas Child, delivers shoeboxes to children in war-torn and weather ravaged areas. Most importantly, each shoebox brings the Gospel with a 32 pg. booklet in the local language.
The gift you give—pales in comparison to the gift Jesus gave—His life, for our sins!
What a simple yet profound way to show our gratitude!
