Syosset Scouts Bring Cheer to Long Beach

Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts fill backpacks with toys and supplies for Sandy victims.

Boy and Cub Scouts from Syosset brightened some young Sandy victims' days for the holidays.

Filling 500 backpacks with toys and school supplies, Cub Scout Pack 168 and Boy Scout Troop 170 helped bring some joy to Long Beach residents at the Martin Luther King Center and St. Mary's Church.

The donations were part of Syosset-Woodbury Rotary Club's We Care program.
