Boy Scout Troop 375, chartered in Saint Francis Assisi Church, wants to thank everyone who supported our Christmas tree recycle effort again this year on January 2 and 3.

We recycled over 500 trees, and community donations are more generous than ever before. These funds allow us to make sure that money is not a factor to our scouts being able to participate in our many camping and outdoor activities and this funding also allows us to help some families be able to send their boys to Boy Scout Camp Parsons each summer.

Every year, our troop recycles Christmas trees during the first full weekend AFTER January 1 at the Herr Garden Center. Herr Garden Center has been a great supporter of our effort. What a great neighborhood business.

We also note, that Scarsella Brothers construction provides a truck to help haul the clippings away. Frank and Kim Scarsella had two of their boys earn their Eagle Scout award from our troop several years ago, yet they continue to support our troop effort every year.

Thanks everyone for your goodness and thanks to everyone in the community who supports for our scout troop through your donations.

Scoutmaster, Troop 375
