Earlier this year, the troop put on Fallbrook’s first "Thanks-4-Giving" volunteer dinner at St. Peter the Apostle Parish Hall. They invited volunteers of the Fallbrook Food Pantry, North County Fire, the Senior Volunteer Patrol of the Sheriff’s Fallbrook substation, Fallbrook’s honorary mayor (at the time), and the supportive owners of Major Market.

The dinner was well attended by over 60 volunteers. Members of the troop said the "Thanks-4-Giving" dinner and subsequent achievement of their Silver Awards would not have been possible without the help of many people and local businesses, their advisors, and mothers.
