Giving Thursday #6: Operation Christmas Child

 

For our 6th Giving Thursday, we hosted Ty's Cub Scout troop and created boxes for Operation Christmas Child.  Tyler and Megan had a great time picking out toys for their "friends" and actually started to get over the fact that they couldn't keep them for themselves.


We started with this video and talked about how different Christmas can be in different parts of the world.  Since we were focused on being a citizen for the meeting, we talked about how we don't just need to be citizens of our town, city, state, or country, but also of the world.  It was a fun night and a project I'm definitely interested in doing again next year.
