Boy Scout Gear

This is probably way off base; however, did any of you see this news item?

Some creep(s) stole a small scout troop's equipment. They are not a big troop and I suspect $$ is hard to come by.

They are having a car wash at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Aurora on Saturday (1 Del Mar Circle). That's about 6th & Peoria.

Tomorrow, I am going to the basement to see what camping equipment I have that is no longer needed and I'm going to take it out to the car wash. I'm also going to see if there is any lunch money left over that I could donate.

Anyone in the area interested in joining me?

If there ever was a worthwhile cause where we can make a difference, this is it.

well...ill just hafta swing by in the '51 and drop some green! Don't think I have any gear that I can go without.

One of those times I'd love to donate but just don't have the coin. Kudos for putting it up on the site for more exposure though.

This happen Last summer too, I remember because I had a few thing to donate to them and some cash after this happen. Some people, maybe it was the guy who stole that other guys camping stuff in Boulder

Well, I came up with two tents, a rain fly, three lanterns, several tarps, a cook kit, a camp stove, two sleeping bags, etc, etc.

This sure helps with some of the basement litter problem (not really).

If there is a shred of decency in this town there will be a line 5 miles long for that car-wash
but something inside of me says it probably wont be so...

I hope they do well today. I'm surprised the troop didn't have insurance on the trailer ? Our troop had our gear trailer at the Elks parking lot and because it was always parked in back out of sight we insured it and the gear. Just saying.

This is a good cause, I wish I was in town today. Does anyone know what time it will run till?

I think it said 8-5 on the news this morning.

Mrs. CB and I got over there about 9:30 this morning. Several cars were waiting in line to be washed.

I really didn't want a wash, as nobody would recognize my old truck if it was clean anyway.

We dropped off the camping gear and made a little cash donation.

Based on what we saw just after 1 1/2 hours, I'll bet they did well today! Those kids were really hustling.

Mrs. CB was real happy that I got half a pickup load of crap out of the basement!
