Our Boys Need Your Support - Now!

Time to Replace Big Blue, the Troop Equipment Trailer.

The Troop is in dire need of our help so Scouts can make it to Summer Camp, Algonquin, and all the other campouts, BUT time is of the essence and we need to act immediately!

Our old "Big Blue" Troop trailer, suffering from the ravages of age and rust, has done its job and quickly needs to be replaced.

What a workhorse this trailer has been for our Troop! The trailer we are replacing is 14 years old, with countless miles and wear-and-tear, purchased through the assistance of Troop families and Alumni back in 2006.

Here’s where you come in. With your donations, we are looking to purchase a new 8.5 x 16 trailer from USA for our Scouts at a cost of $9125.00. This includes the interior shelving we plan to add.

Please consider giving whatever you can!

To make a tax-deductible donation to the Troop 101 Alumni Association, please mail your check to Troop 101 Alumni Association; 3002 Reeves Road NE; Warren, Ohio 44483.

You can also make an online donation on our Facebook page, or through PayPal

For more information, please reach out to Tim Ross at 330.962.8839.

Thank you for supporting BSA Troop 101!
