In sending a care package to Scott let’s consider his personal likes….

He loves beef jerky, baby wipes (to help clean up), tuna, all kinds of snack items which are not heat sensitive including chips, non-chocolate candy and canned goods.

Then there is the list that Operation Gratitude puts out which they are allowed to send to troops. So if you care to buy any of these items, I’m sure Scott and his friends would enjoy them as well.
