️ Update 4/7/2026:

We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from our community. Thanks to your generosity, Troop 902 not only met but exceeded our fundraising goal in a very short time.

Because of you, we will be able to replace our equipment and ensure our Scouts can continue their adventures without interruption.

At this time, we are officially closing the fundraiser. Please know how much your kindness, encouragement, and support mean to our troop and families.

We are proud to be part of such an amazing community and look forward to continuing to grow, serve, and represent you well.

Thank you again for standing with Troop 902.

Troop 902 of Fairfield, Ohio is a community-rooted Boy Scout troop built on teaching our Scouts leadership, teamwork, and real-world life skills through the outdoors.

On April 1st, our troop trailer was broken into and approximately $7,500 worth of essential camping gear was stolen — tents, backpacks, cooking equipment, and more. These aren't just supplies. They're the tools our Scouts depend on to earn merit badges, bond as a team, and grow into confident young leaders.

Our Scouts take pride in camping and making the most of every outdoor experience. Losing this gear means losing those opportunities — and we refuse to let that stop them.

We're already humbled by the support of our community. The Optimist Club is stepping up with a donation, and Channel 5 has covered our story on wlwt5.com-https://www.wlwt.com/article/butler-county-boy-scout-troop-theft-supplies/70946179. But we still need your help to get our Scouts back on the trail.

How Your Donation Helps:

• Replace tents and sleeping equipment

• Replace cooking and camping gear

• Keep Scouts safely enjoying outdoor adventures and merit badge activities

Every dollar gets us one step closer to making sure no Scout misses out because of this theft. Thank you for standing with Troop 902 — your generosity keeps the spirit of Scouting alive.
