Scout Troop 221 Hosts Annual Tree Recycling Event

Tree Recycling is a big part of the fundraising for Scout Troop 221. It not only helps our neighbors get rid of old Christmas trees, but it is an important team-builder for our troop. Each year, we turn more than 200 trees into mulch, which we spread to protect the landscaping throughout the community. 100% of the money we raise goes to fund campouts, rock climbing, rafting trips, and new gear for our Scouts.

I have participated in the Tree Recycling event for 3 years, and it is amazing to see my fellow Scouts come together to help the community and our troop. Even though it can get cold and rainy at times, we have fun working together and goofing around. Scout Troop 221 has done so much for me, and I feel a sense of fulfillment supporting them throughout the year.
