Boy Scout Troop 112 is asking the Springfield Township Community for help. The troop is in desperate need of two adult winter tents for their camping trips. The boys and leaders put in many long hours for our community. The cost of these two tents is $1,200, which is roughly half of their yearly budget. If you would like to make a donation, checks can be made out to Boy Scout Troop 112 and mailed to Ron Knighten, 444 Arney’s Mount Road, Jobstown, 08041. If you have a tent you would like to donate, please send Ron a note so he may contact you. Everyone’s assistance is greatly appreciated.
