Operation Hometown Gratitude Pack Meeting on November 11th



Our next pack meeting will be at Mayo High School on November 11th at 6:30 pm.  We will be packing boxes for Operation Hometown Gratitude.  Please enter Mayo High School through door 5 and proceed upstairs to room 238C.

About OHG:
Operation Hometown Gratitude is an effort organized by students in the Rochester high schools as a way to support local troops and thank them for their service.  You can read more about the program here: Rochester School District OHG

Donation Request:
Please consider bringing some supplies with you to donate to the cause.  There is a current need for toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, jerky, hot chocolate, coffee, and powdered drink mixes.  A more extensive list of items can be found here: OHG Supplied Needed

Also, please note that scouts can also bring in extra Halloween candy to send to the troops as well.

Veterans Day
Our Operation Hometown Gratitude meeting this year will be extra meaningful as it falls on Veterans Day.  Please consider discussing with your scout the meaning of Veterans Day and the the debt that we as a country owe the men and women who have served in the military.
