Donald Macaulay’s job as quartermaster for Boy Scout Troop 349 is to assign and distribute gear to his fellow troop members on campouts. By sorting through the equipment, he has taken note of all the areas that need improvement. “Our tents and tarps are wearing out, and we need to replace them,” Donald said. “We camp frequently, especially in winter.” While Troop 349 members are still working out the numbers needed to purchase, Donald has been researching the available options. Tents large enough to accommodate three to five people plus their belongings and with a life expectancy of at least four years typically cost between $200 and $500.

Cindi Selph set out to learn how to crochet after having a conversation with a friend about people who crochet plastic bags into sleeping mats. “I went online and got inspired by all of the YouTube videos,” recalled Selph. With sewing and knitting skills already under her belt, Selph was able to quickly teach herself how to crochet the plastic bag yarn more commonly referred to simply as “plarn.” Selph reached out to Mount Joy Helping Services to see if there might be a need for the 4-by-6-foot plarn sleeping mats locally, and she learned See Mats Of Love pg 3
