Every year, Miss Em’s hosts a fun shopping event that benefits the Boy Scouts of America (BSA)! This year’s event is coming up Saturday Dec. 3, 11am-3pm at 5767 Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Rd. This is the Milford Trinity United Methodist Church and chartered home of Troop 468. Proceeds from this annual fundraiser will help offset cost of monthly campouts, events, and other misc. expenses such as equipment, propane, troop trailer and cooking supplies. The Scouts and their families appreciate this support and hope to see you on Dec. 3! Click here for more event details!
I chatted with the Troop Leader of Troop 468 (based at Trinity United Methodist Church in Milford OH) to learn more about BSA and how much each troop helps their local communities. Here’s what the Troop Leader had to say about his group: The Boy led Troop is over 50 years old and current has 52 boys on charter with the Boy Scouts of America. The scouts range in ages 10 through 18, as they progress through the ranks in hope of reaching Eagle Scout, the highest scouting rank. We are a service driven troop that participates in many events to help local organizations and its people. Some of which include the following:
- Milford Miami Ministries – Food Collection and 5K fundraiser support
- Tender Mercies
- Senior Saturday (Miami Township) breakfast event
- Built 22 tables for kids affected by Downs Syndrome
- Honor Flight
- Provided 75 summer lunches for Milford Students
- New Life Furniture drive participation
- Giving Tree for Holidays
- Flag Retirements
- Miami Township Fire Tower
- Finley Ray Park clean up
- Trinity United Methodist Clean up Fall and Spring
