service projects

Elizabethton Boy Scout Troop 129 along with Cub Scout Pack 29 collected over 3,000 non-perishable food items from doorsteps and porches during the national Scouting for Food campaign on Saturday. The scouts braved the cold and the rain early Saturday morning to collect the food, which was given to Hale Community Ministries to fill food baskets for needy families. Scouting for Food is a project rooted in the very foundation of the Scouting movement. Through initiative and hard work, the Boy Scouts have developed a framework that can help local food pantries feed thousands of needy local residents with emergency aid.
