Saturday, February 6th, 2010 is Scouting For Food Service Project. We need volunteers to help collect and sort food from various neighborhoods surrounding the church. You can sign up to help on Monday, February 1st at regular Troop meeting. We will also need a few parents that have mini vans, trucks, and trailers to help assist in driving scouts and pick up food. Please see Mr Hatcher for more details. We are also asking that each Scout bring in food to help donate to this cause. The Councils goal is 100 lbs per scout. If everyone brings in 100 lbs each that will be 3000 lbs total from the Troop alone. This will be a patrol competition as well. The Patrol that brings in the most food will win a Pizza party on February 8th during regular meetings. We will also be donating 10% of what we collect to the Harrison UMC Food bank as well. Non perishables and canned foods only. NO GLASS accepted!! Lets see if we can hit our goal of 3000 lbs. Scout Sunday is February 7th, 2010 at Harrison UMC at the 9:15 service.

As a Troop, we may want to consider rallying around the Health Kits idea. In the mean time, there is an avenue for a personal response should your or your family choose to do so. Here is the email that we received: Dear United Methodist Friends, United Methodist Communications continues to provide news coverage of the situation in Haiti, including how the church is responding, at http://www.umc.org/haiti.
