Thieves in the middle of the night last Saturday (12/7/2024) stole almost 100 Christmas trees that were being sold by Boy Scouts in Murfreesboro. The crooks even disabled the security cameras. Troop 197 has been selling Christmas trees for 19 years and it’s their only fundraiser. On Thursday the Troop said they had about 100 trees left for sell. However, the theft has greatly hampered their fundraising efforts. The troop welcomes any donations which can be mailed to: BSA Troop 197 , Fellowship UMC, 2511 New Salem Hwy, Murfreesboro, TN 37128 OR Venmo: @treasurer197
If you have any information that might help in the investigation of this theft, or would like to donate in other ways, please contact Phil McDonald at 360-904-6153.
