Scouts' food drive coming

Local scouts soon will be out "Scouting for Food" like other scouts across the country.

The scouts will be putting out fliers on door handles or near home entrances this year with no bag. You may still put food in a bag or box and hang the flier from it so the scouts know to pick it up in two weeks.

Pack 24 and Troops 24 (boys) and 52 (girls) have been busy learning and doing lots of things.

This past weekend, they took a trip to camp Edward and Pigott on the west side, adult leaders report. The Cub Scouts (age 5-10) attended Camp Halloween where they got to do various crafts, practice shooting BB guns and bows, go through a haunted tower/dungeon, and meet lots of other Cub Scouts.

One of the Troop 52 girls joined with fellow Order of the Arrow members to help make Camp Halloween happen. At the same time, some of the boys got to attend a shooting sports day to improve their shot. They worked on archery and .22 rifles, some of them got their merit badges, and others started down the "NRA Marksman" path.
