SBCDSA is proud to make a donation to the to Boys Scouts To Replace Stolen Equipment.
Boy Scout Troop 95 in Orcutt was the victim of stolen camping equipment on or about the night of Saturday, February 4, 2017. The loss included all of the equipment the boys needed for camp outings, including tents, camp stoves, sleeping bags and food.
Also stolen was a ceremonial copper stand used for rank advancement activities. In total, the Troop’s losses are estimated to be more than $3,000. Reports also indicate that it took years for the Troop members to raise the funds to initially purchase the equipment.
The Santa Barbara County Deputy Sheriffs Association was aware of the burglary from police reports and gathered the resources to make a $1,000 donation to Troop 95 to replace some of the equipment. A gofundme page was set up by Troop 95 supporters at: https:www.gofundme.comTroop95Orcutt.
Reports indicate that Troop 95 has already raised sufficient funds to replace the stolen items.
The members and directors of the Santa Barbara County Deputy Sheriffs Association, including custody deputies, deputy sheriffs working in patrol and special assignments, 911 dispatchers and district attorney investigators urge all County residents and businesses in support youth organizations, including the Boy Scouts of America.
