Today we collected food from the community to provide for those people in need. This is a program called Scouting for Food. We had most of the boys participate in either the flyer handout on Tuesday or picking up food today on Saturday. Typically sometime during the week we will take the flyer which is actually a door knob hanger and hang it on every door within our ward boundaries. We divide up into teams with a driver and a couple of boys and a map. We have it organized so that we get all houses. The only problem with this year is we did not have very many flyers and so we were only able to put them on about half the doors in our area. This possibly resulted in a little less food this time but its hard to say. The boys have a good time running and getting barked at by dogs. One funny thing that happened was Zach picked up a grocery sack full of cans from David Kearsley's house and the bag broke and spilled cans everywhere. There were a lot of cans, which of course we were greatful for, however it took awhile to carry a few at a time to the truck since it broke so far away. To drop off the brochures I had Beau and Gabren and they got barked at a few times but it was fun. Today after we got done dropping off all the food we went and got ice cream at the gas station. All in all we are grateful to help the community in this way. I hope if anybody reads this to consider donating food so that we can get a little more next year. Thanks
