Support Scouting By Donating Items
"Gifts-In-Kind" is great a win-win situation for you and the Scouting movement. Mid-America has a vast list of items that are needed for normal operation of the Scouting program. Items collected will allow us to continue to provide our quality values based program to over 20,800 youth in our community.
Our goal is to secure gifts of product: food for camp, office supplies, medical supplies, paper products, cups, etc. and in-kind services: printing, lawn mowing, carpet cleaning, window cleaning, etc.
Donate new or gently used items by contacting the Durham Scout Center at 402.431.9BSA (402.431.9272).
