Theodore Roosevelt Council:
Making a Difference Pt. 2
Check out how Scouts and Volunteers in our Council have been impacting our local communities during these difficult times.
"Sparks of Kindness"

Sean, a Scout of T332, and his brother, Seth, a Wolf Scout with Pack 84 assembled 50 masks and distributed them to two health care facilities with messages of thanks. One was Lynbrook Restorative Therapy & Nursing in Lynbrook, NY. The other was an elder care facility in Long Beach.

"They have been full of the Scouting spirit and these sparks of kindness in our community make [us] proud every time." 
Shielding Our Medical Professionals

Troop 267 recently worked together to assemble and deliver a batch of face masks to South Nassau Community Hospital.

Congratulations Troop 267 on your thoughtful contribution to our Medical Workers.
Delivering to Those Who Need it Most

In Scouts BSA Troop 381, Holy Family Church , the SPL has been making regular deliveries to the food Pantries. He helped make Deliveries to Hicksville, East Meadow, and Levittown Parish Food Pantries

A month into the quarantine more than 1,250 lbs. has been delivered in food and more than $500 in Store Cards.

Last month the troop got together to make mask adjusters for front line workers. 
Helping Those in Need

Troop 189 is currently working with the Town of Hempstead to make face masks for medical workers. Last month they held a plant sale and will be directing a portion of their proceeds towards buying food for first responders. They are also holding a food drive to help those in need!

Great Job everyone! Know that everything that you have done and continue to do matters. BULLY!
Message from a Veteran

Crew 2718 sent food to Veterans and their families this week. One of the Veterans wanted to express their appreciation:

" Receive[d] the food from the Boy Scouts today. It was like a gift from heaven. I don't have to worry about going out to shop for quite a while now. They covered everything. Thank you so much ... for thinking of us. As well as whomever is responsible."

On top of aiding our Veterans the crew helped out PS 230 in Jackson Heights, which is 2 miles from Elmhurst Hospital in Queens. This area has been hit quite hard by the current times. Many families have been impacted by the virus, and as a result getting food has been difficult. The crew delivered five SUV loads of food to the school to help children in the area who are rationing their food, or on the verge of going without. The crew also handed the School a $400 check to keep them going.


BULLY CREW 2718! What an excellent effort to aid our communities. Your work is appreciated by all.
Great work Pack 824! Your messages of thanks will be seen and felt by many. Keep up the messages of positivity in these challenging times.
Stay Safe and Be Well.
