The Scouts of Camp Zama, Japan: Camp Zama Girl Scouts, Cub Scout Pack #34, Boy Scout Troop #34 are organizing the collection and assembling of comfort backpacks.
Thier mission is to provide comfort and a message of love to the kids of Japan who have lost everything in the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. They will distribute the packs after transportation and mail delivery becomes available in the affected areas. Members of the community are in Sendai, Japan, directly helping with relief efforts. They will personally help distribute the backpacks for our Scouts. Thanks to the 35th CSSB and the Joint Support Force Japan -- Forward Command Element, they have now started delivering backpacks!
They will include a short note letting thier Japanese friends know about all the people involved and where the donations originated. Join them!
They will collect packs & items until 30 April 2011.
