I will surely join the ranks of the people who troll yard sales for uniforms when I get a job...at this point, I have no job and am in therapy for a back surgery that has all but put in in a chair. The pain increases, the doc has cut my pain management, and the stand-in therapist had me doing exercises that are way beyond my abilities. I am laid up now, and hoping my true therapist can fix this on Wednesday.
Anyway, as I said up-thread...the troop closet had one uniform that fit him, they are going to put out a plea for more donations of used and outgrown uniforms...but that won’t happen in time for this camping trip.
Maybe not in time for this trip but spring is the time lots of people like to clear out their “stuff”. Help your son make up a flyer and post on craigslist thathe is willing to pick up stuff to do a garage sale to raise money for his Boy Scout activities. You can post the garage sale on craigslist for free. I am sure there is a neighbor with a truck or car that can help him pick up the donated items. The truth is that most people are turned off by begging so if they see a kid who is actually working for his money they will probably be more than willing to help.
