Pack 32, Marion
Update: Monday, December 2, 2013 The Scouts of Pack 32 in Marion, made a huge difference today!
In November the scouts participated in their soap box derby and used the event to: help help a local family, collect donations for a food pantry and collecting “gently-used” children’s things for GiftsToGive.
This afternoon, after school, Pack 32 in full force – descended on the mill in a literal caravan of vehicles, full of not only scouts, but the treasure they had collected between themselves and other families in Marion.
Jim Stevens, CEO of GiftsToGive said ” The scouts of Pack 32 set two records today; one for the most donations collected by a Cub Scout Pack and two; for the most toys ever inspected, cleaned and processed in one-hour. Talk about fun, blazing speed and philanthropy, and I’ll tell you the story of Marion Pack 32!” Stevens went on to say: I give the parents of these scouts huge praise, for supporting them, not only in their scouting endeavors, but in helping them to understand through their doing, the power of giving and service.”
