Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

Boy Scout Troop 924 is proudly sponsored by American Legion Post #237 of Pleasanton, California. The American Legion is the nation’s largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow servicemembers and veterans. Troop 924 is comprised of boys from Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore who work together to serve others in the community thereby preparing the scouts to make ethical choices during their lifetime to achieve their full potential.
