The Ethan Giving Tree

October 19, 2015

Hello Leader,

The Gulf Coast National Scout Shop is providing an opportunity for the scouting community to help local scout members who may be in need of uniforms and uniform items.

This help will be done through The Ethan Giving Tree program starting November 14 through December 19, 2015. The Ethan Giving Tree program works on a donation basis. An Ethan tree (similar to an Angel tree) will be set up at the Scout Shop with Ethan cards on it. Each card will have the first name of the Scout along with the uniform items that they need. There will also be a space for other items they may want such as books, crafts, camping items, etc. Customers and Scout supporters can purchase the item(s) in their local Scout Shop and give them to the store staff to collect for each child.

We will keep the name of the individual(s) confidential. Only the store staff will have access to the Scout’s name and your contact information. A code will be issued that will match a card in the safe that will have your contact information, so as the donations are collected store staff will contact you so arrangements for pickup can be made.

We need your assistance to make this project a success. Please fill out the information below and return to the store by November 9, 2015 for every scout who would benefit from donations from the scouting community to complete their full uniform.

If you have any concerns or questions please contact the store staff by email: GulfCoastScoutShop@scouting.org or phone us at 850-473-9945.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. With leaders like you, this program will greatly benefit our scouting community.

Cub Scout Pack 99 was recognized by the City of Pensacola!!!

Cub Scout Pack 99 was recently recognized by the City of Pensacola Parks and Recreation Department as the newest Adopt-A-Park volunteer group, adopting Toledo Square Park off of 17th Avenue. The volunteer coordinator, Tim Land said, "The park is definitely in much better shape now. Some surrounding neighbors came by and said they could tell a big difference in their park and thanked the boys for their hard work. They are helping set the example to the community that you can get involved in the Adopt-A-Park Program no matter the age." The Gulf Coast Council would like to thank Pack 99 for their hard work, GREAT job Pack 99!
