New Jersey Boy Scouts send goodwill packages to Iraq
A bit of New Jersey blogging: The Boy Scouts in Mt. Laurel have shipped more than 70 packages of supplies, toys and food for distribution to schools in Iraq.
Thank you Matthew Beddall. What a very worthy Eagle Scout project!
Soldiers from Task Force 3-8 Cavalry delivered boxes filled with school supplies, toys and food to the Al A’ila Primary School, in the Salhiya neighborhood of the Karkh District here on Dec. 8. Soldiers from Company B, 1st Battalion, 161st Infantry Regiment, the “Bushmasters,” from Kent, Wash., are primarily responsible for the security within the International Zone, according to Capt. Jonathan Beddall, from Davenport, Wash., Company B commander, 1-161 INF.
Beddall’s nephew, Matthew Beddall, a 17-year-old high school senior from Mount Laurel, N.J., organized the donation of school supplies, food and cash to pay for the shipping as part of an Eagle Scout project.
Thank you Matthew Beddall. What a very worthy Eagle Scout project!
