Local Boy Scout troop needs 12 Canyon Springs "kits"

Update: The troop has received all of the boxes it needs. Thank you Canyon Springs!

If you can help this troop by providing an "Office in a Box" or "Essential Tools" kit that would be awesome. They need to collect 12 of each. The contact e-mail for the troop is below and you can see the list of supplies posted earlier on this blog.

Pastor Jack -

I heard through the prayer vine that your congregation may be putting together file boxes for fire victims. Our son Cameron is in boy scouts with Poway Troop 479. We are the only family from Scripps Ranch, with everyone else being from Poway and Ramona.Our scoutmaster lives in Poway on Skyridge Road. His land burned, but his house was spared.This area they live in is very, very remote and down private roads. He has 12 neighbors who have lost their homes. I asked if he thought these would be supplies would be helpful, and could he get me up there to deliver them.He send me an enthusiastic "Yes!" He also said it would be helpful if there could be some sort of quick note with it mentioning how these supplies would be helpful as they begin to gather paperwork. He said they are all so dazed and confused, they can't even figure it out.

So, if you have 12 boxes to spare, our family would be happy to deliver these. I'd be happy to report back, etc. once the mission is accomplished.
