Boy Scouts don t change the world, just a small part of it. As members of Holy Trinity (the charter organization for Boy Scouts in Berlin), we are trying to change the world, one boy at a time.

They need room to grow. Along with the renovation, we want to remember those folks who have made a significant contribution to scouting here in town. We re planning a book and plaque within the new hall. We want to raise $8,000 for the project. Labor is free, but materials and equipment are not. Won t you help with a generous contribution? In so doing, you will honor those who have given themselves and also invest in the future. Make checks payable to Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and designate them for Scout Project. To submit names for the book and plaque, contact Cathy at the church office 267-5014 or me, Lee Woida 267-4420. Do your best. Thanks.
