Knox Trail Council Scouts collect 96 tons of Food!

Framingham, Massachusetts – December 6, 2011-- The Scouts of the Knox Trail Council collected 96 tons of food in November for local food pantries in the Metro West area.

Over 4,000 scouts and leaders from the 21 communities served by the Knox Trail Council, Boy Scouts of America participated in this nationwide “Good Turn”  

Food Pantry Directors throughout the Metro West have said that they depend on the Food collected each year by Scouts, Parents, and Leaders in the annual Scouting for Food Drive.

Scouting for Food is more than a service project to help those in need in our community. As a program of the Boy Scouts of America, the underlying purpose of Scouting for Food is to teach character. Scouting for Food is one more opportunity for boys to learn at an early age the value of service to others.

The Scouts and Scouters of the Knox Trail Council, Boy Scouts of America have collected over 1,800 tons of food in the past 23 years. 

A special thank you goes to Price Chopper Supermarkets for donating the Scouting for Food Bags that were used in the 2011 food drive and the United Way of Tri County who are sponsors of the 2011 Scouting for Food Drive.
