WE still can use out grown scout uniforms, so before you give them to Good Will, send them to Scout meeting and we will see that they stay active.
The Quartermaster shack has a termite problem causing the front left of the building to sink, making the door to the building difficult to open fully. Advice needed as to how to reclaim and repair. You know about construction? Then come on down and consult with us.
