\t\t\t\tYou\u2019re tired.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>You’ve\u00a0spent your day seeing beautiful quilts, meeting new people, getting inspired.\u00a0<\/span>You’ve\u00a0bought a lot of cool tools and supplies for your next project. You\u2019re tired of carrying all of your stuff around but you don\u2019t want to haul it out to your car in case you\u2019ll miss out on something. Sound familiar? \u00a0Feel familiar? No need to get worried, anxious, or burdened. The Boy Scouts of America are ready and able to help relieve this kind of stress during Road to California.\"boy-scouts__i4c5853\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Troop 628, a member of the California Inland Empire Council and chartered through Water of Life Church in Fontana, California, has been coming to the rescue of Road attendees for the past 10 years. The Reese family has a long history with this troop. Carolyn\u2019s son Mike was an assistant scout master. His son, Matt Reese, went all the way through the troop, eventually earning the Eagle Rank. \u00a0They know firsthand all about the \u201chelping other people at all times\u201d promise of boy scouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Troop 628 appreciates being able to assist patrons with their belongings. For a suggested donation of just $2.00 per bag, attendees can leave whatever they want at the scout station. And for 25 cents per visit, patrons are welcome to take their belongings in and out of the secured area. These prices have remained the same for the entire ten years. And of course, tips are always welcomed.\"boy-scouts__i4c5881\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The scouts and their leaders volunteer their time during the week. \u00a0A portion of the proceeds earned goes in to the boys\u2019 individual fund raising accounts which are used for camping trips, merit badges, and other Boy Scout expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Burnell, age 17 and a Life Scout, said, \u201cServing at Road is a big help for my camp expenses. It is a wonderful opportunity to help other people and prepares us for adulthood. I especially like providing service for elderly women. I like being able to help in some small way.\u201d The biggest tip he ever got? \u201c$20.00!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Issac, age 12, is a Tenderfoot. He commented that it is really fun and very busy because there are a lot of customers. His favorite part? \u201cCounting the money, bagging the goods, and watching the stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The boys appreciate the opportunity to serve as they practice valuable life skills such as face-to-face interacting with people of all ages, how to make change, and the chance to practice their \u201cPlease\u201d and \u201cThank Yous.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\"boy-scouts__i4c5875\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoing a good turn daily,\u201d is what Troop 628 is all about, especially during Road to California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
