Boy Scout Troop 186 (Hillsborough) received the highest award from the Marines' "Toys for Tots" program recently for its exceptional contributions to its annual toy drive.  

Troop 186 Community Service Chair Linda Cummings spearheaded the collection drive that involved many people in Hillsborough and surrounding communities.  Troop Scouts staffed a toy collection outside of the Manville Walmart in early December.  Other contributions came from SHI International, Just Subs, Girl Scout Troop 60126, Chrono CrossFit Gym, and Cub Scout Pack 186 (Hillsborough).

The collection effort yielded 252 toys and $1253.00 for the Toys for Tots program.  Many children enjoyed brighter holidays as a result of these generous donations.
