The ADAMS Cub Scouts thanked the community for their generous donations to their first-ever Eid Toy Drive. 

During the beginning days of Ramadan many community members donated over 200 toys to the project -- over 90% of which were brand new. The Bear Den and their leader, Mirza Baig, spent hours collecting and delivering over twenty bags of toys to Muslimat al-Nisaa, a shelter whose clients are homeless women and children.  The boys learned about the true spirit of community service and sharing as they collected the community's generous donations for the children of the families served by Muslimat al-Nisaa.  Those children can in turn celebrate a wonderful and joyous Eid al-Fitr holiday.

This was truly a wonderful service opportunity for the Cub Scouts, especially during such a special time as Ramadan.
