Scouts of all ages participated in the 2011 Boy Scouts of America Pikes Peak Council annual Scouting for Food Drive the week ending April 9. They collected 10,957 pounds of food, which was donated to local food banks.This year’s annual Scouting for Food drive started weeks ago, with hundreds of Scouts of all ages, from 31 different units – Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Venturing Crews, going door to door in their neighborhoods asking families for donations of non-perishable food items to help the needy families of the Pikes Peak Region. The Scouts returned at a later date to pick up the donations and deliver the food to the collection sites.Some units also set up tables outside grocery stores to ask shoppers for donations.
