Trick or Treat

As many of you are aware, October 31st is Halloween.  Trick or Treating is an American Halloween tradition where kids dress up in costumes and go house to house soliciting candy.  Each Halloween, children in Nichada go Trick or Treating.

In addition to collecting candy, this year the children can help less fortunate children by collecting money for Unicef in addition to collecting candy.  The details are here:

This would be a great den community service project.  I am going to have Jacob do this.  If there is interest, the scouts can go trick or treating together, although they can participate in this project individually.

In addition to helping people, participating will count towards the Citizenship Belt Loop, which is required for the Citizenship Badge, which is required for the Webelos badge. 

Please let me know if people are interested in getting together to do this.  Although I will be out of the country, I should be accessible by email during most of my trip.
