Christmas Help local Scout
The Johnson City 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 Holiday Giving Tree program starting November 12 through December 17, 2021. The Holiday Giving Tree program works on a donation basis. A Holiday Giving tree (similar to an Angel tree) will be set up at the Scout Shop with Holiday Giving 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 11, 2021, for every Scout who would benefit from donations.If you have any concerns or questions, please contact the store staff by email: JohnsonCityScoutShop@scouting.org. Thank you in advance for your assistance. With leaders like you, this program will greatly benefit our Scouting community.

Local Scouts tackle hunger Super Bowl weekend 2/5/2021
KINGSPORT — Youth and adult members of local Boy Scouts of America units will spend Super Bowl weekend tackling hunger in their communities.
When the annual Scouting for Food drive was postponed in November due to safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Scouting officials and volunteers started looking for a new way to help stock the shelves of local food pantries that rely on their annual efforts.
“We’re coming up on the anniversary of Scouting in February, and decided to combine the idea for collecting food with the celebrations we normally do for Scout Sunday within our charter organizations,” BSA volunteer Julieann White explained.
The goal of participating units around the area is to provide a safe way for the community to help tackle hunger, by donating nonperishable food items at one of several drives being held throughout the weekend.
Troop 48, Colonial heights

Troop 48 and its charter organization, Colonial Heights Presbyterian Church, will host a continuous campfire and food drive, beginning at 5 p.m. Friday and continuing through Sunday at 11 p.m. Scouts will be on hand to tend the fire and collect canned goods and other nonperishables to support the church’s Blessing Box and Second Harvest Food Bank. At 9 a.m. Saturday, youth members will also be demonstrating various Scouting skills. Monetary donations to support the church pantry or Second Harvest will also be accepted. Colonial Heights Presbyterian is located 213 Colonial Heights Road.
