Working together, they hand-delivered collection envelopes in December and then picked up more than 550 trees in early January.
The biggest tree of the day award went to Steve and Kyle G who collected an 18 foot tree by themselves. (see photo above)
John and Jack R, Mark and Craig Y, Russell M, Jonathan G, Denny R and Bob P were just a few of the many hands that helped collect the trees. Photo by Suzanne Gugger. |
Each troop contributed over 250 volunteer hours from both boys and parents.
