Buckeye Council is excited to announce our 2025 council-wide service project: Backpack to School! Thousands of students start the school year without the supplies they need to succeed. Buckeye Council is committed to changing that. By collecting and donating backpacks filled with essential school supplies, we will help kids be prepared for success in school and life.

Help others be prepared—one backpack at a time:
COLLECT
Purchase a brand-new backpack filled with essential supplies and drop it off at one of our designated locations. See below for a list of needed items and drop-off sites.
OPTION 1
DONATE
Your financial contribution will help us provide backpacks and supplies to even more children in need.
OPTION 2
A single backpack can boost a child’s confidence and set them up for success. By supporting Backpack to School, you’re making a direct impact on the future of our community.


ATTENTION: 7R CAMPERS!
Pack an extra backpack when you come to camp filled with school supplies to donate, and you’ll score a SUPER SLUSHIE CUP + FREE* REFILLS during your stay at 7R! That’s right! Free refills, all week long, just for helping kids get ready for school. Do something good, chill with unlimited icy rewards, and make this summer one to remember.
