Each year Operation Christmas Child sends one Troop Coordinator on an OCC Vision Trip to experience a shoebox distribution and witness the Greatest Journey Discipleship program.

This year’s Trail Life USA Operation Christmas Child Troop Coordinator Vision Trip winner is Matt Scott from Trail Life Troop PA-2215. Matt and Trail Life CEO, Mark Hancock, will join leaders from shoebox packing ministries around the country in Grenada where they will experience the difference a shoebox can make first-hand.
