The boys of the troop used their own money to buy the uniforms, valued at approximately $100 each, as welcome gifts for the girls.
Six girls stepped out of the dressing rooms at a local shop in Pennsylvania with a twirl, showing off their brand new tan and green ensembles: Scout BSA uniforms.
The cash came from an investment account typically used to fund camping trips or buy camping gear, and according to Scoutmasters Jim Walls and Barbara Steinmetz, the boys made the decision to dip into it for the uniforms — khaki shirts emblazoned with the Boy Scouts of America emblem, and striped sashes.
As scout Vaughn Ritter, 13, told Fox29, “We normally go off of, ‘You do a good turn daily and not get any big return.’ So if you help someone out, you don’t expect to get paid or anything. It’s just like a simple thing.” According to Steinmetz, whose two daughters Emily, 13, and Alison, 12, have also joined Troop 339, the gift was priceless. “It’s fantastic that they went and did that for the girls. The girls know they’re wanted and accepted and have a home,” Steinmetz told the Delco Times.
