New trailer donated to Elkhart boy scout troop after trailer full of camping gear was stolen

ELKHART, Ind. (WNDU) - The “City with a Heart” is living up to its name thanks to a generous donation to a local boy scout troop that was recently the victim of theft.

Earlier this week, we told you that police in Elkhart are investigating the theft of a trailer filled with camping equipment belonging to Boy Scout Troop 750.

On Friday, 16 News Now learned that Discovery Trailers has donated a trailer to Troop 750!

However, Scoutmaster Jeff Fullhart says Troop 750 still needs to replace all the camping gear that was taken, so he has setup a GoFundMe.

“This equipment was all paid for through different fundraising activities over the years,” Fullhart said on GoFundMe. “It will take us a long time to raise the money to replace the equipment so that our scouts can resume camping.”

The Troop’s goal is $12,000. To donate, click here.
