A couple dozen Cub Scouts in DeKalb County are facing a bleak camping season now that someone has stolen all their gear.
Cub Scout Pack 103 usually makes a trip into the wilderness each fall and spring. But the plans for the October outing have changed because of the disappearance of their gear-packed trailer.
Early this month, someone stole it -- and an empty Boy Scout trailer that was parked next to it -- from the parking lot of a church in Toco Hill.
The trailer was filled with tents, coolers, propane tanks and "industrial-sized" stoves that could feed 50, said pack administrator Emily Skuban.
The pastor of Clairmont Hills Baptist Church on Clairmont Road said a recycling trailer in the church's parking lot also was stolen. Pastor Fred Pitts speculated that all three trailers were taken from behind the church on the same night.

UPDATE: When Atlanta filmmaker Tyler Perry heard the news about the theft of Cub Scout Pack 103's belongings, he gave the scouts a check for $10,000 to cover the loss.
