Trail Life Troop MI-0518 has a rich heritage in scouting and training young men to be responsible leaders in their communities and lovers of the outdoors. On October 27th, 2016, our troop trailer containing all of the troops' gear was stolen from Warren Woods Baptist Church even though the trailer had a lock on the tongue and a chain through the wheel / .
The boys worked hard in 2013 and 2014 to fundraise to purchase the ~$2500 trailer. This trailer was used to hold all of our equipment which included 5 camping stoves, 2 10' x 20' dining tents, propane tanks (small and large), axes and other hand tools, large totes / patrol boxes, multiple propane and gas lanterns, 5 gallon refillable water jugs, a dutch oven, and a variety of pots, pans and cooking equipment for each patrol. The value of all the equipment and wood needed to properly shelve and create storage in the trailer is another ~$2500.
This bad news comes just one day before the troop was planning on embarking on it's annual Cooking Campout where the scouts pull out all the stops and cook incredible meals and compete for bragging rights. Now we are scrambling to find enough tents and supplies to keep this event going.
Won't you please help partner with us and help us to replace these necessary items to continue supplying the great experiences that scouting provides? If you have any of the supplies listed above and would like to donate those items, that would be wonderful. Of course, monetary donations would be very welcome as well.
Please note that we are not a charitable organization and therefore any funds given will not be tax deductible.
Thank you and God Bless,
