Help Scout Leader Ai Buangsuwon Rebuild After Eaton Fire
Hi, I am Stephanie McLemore, a member of Scouting America Troop 5 in Pasadena, CA. On behalf of the members of Scout Troop 5 in Pasadena, we humbly ask for support for one of our fearless Assistant Scoutmasters, Ai Buangsuwon. Ai's home tragically burned down in the Eaton fire, and he was able to escape with just the clothes on his back.
Ai is the most giving man imaginable. He has been a member of Troop 5 for 20 years since his oldest son, Mitch, joined Troop 5. An Eagle Scout himself, Ai was eager to introduce his sons to the world of scouting. Since then, he has been a pillar of the Troop, serving in all leadership roles, including Scoutmaster for 6 years and Eagle Advisor. Under his care, over 35 scouts have earned their Eagle rank. Even after his second son, Alex, earned his wings in 2019, Mr. Ai still attends every meeting, guides scouts through their advancement, teaches merit badges, and serves as Eagle Advisor. He selflessly gives so much of his time and knowledge to help grow each member of our troop into a responsible, participating citizen and leader. Ai was recognized for his dedication by the LA Council when they awarded him the Silver Beaver service award for distinguished service to the Council in 2015.
Please consider making a donation to Mr. Ai to help him rebuild his life like he has helped so many scouts build theirs.
Please note donations for Ai are going through Emergency Charitable Service, a nonprofit, so your donation will be tax-deductible, and Ai will not be taxed on your gift.
Thank you,
Stephanie McLemore on behalf of the Troop 5 Community
