Boy Scouts of America sponsors a National Good Turn each year by organizing Scouting for Food. This is an event aimed at gathering canned food for local food pantries. As the event wrapped up Feb. 10, Frisco Cub Scout Pack 298, chartered by Frisco’s First United Methodist Church, was recognized for gathering more food than any other Scouting unit in BSA’s Arrowhead District.
The Arrowhead District includes much older troops, and covers the cities of McKinney, Allen, Frisco, Melissa, Celina, Fairview, Lucas, Prosper, Anna, Farmersville and Blueridge. Pack 298 would like to thank all the residents living in the Arrowhead district for such a spectacular response, especially those in our area around Curtsinger and Shawnee Trail elementary schools. These areas really put the pack over the top.
Sylvia Perry, whose Cub Scout den gathered the most food for Pack 298, said, “It’s great for the boys to win at something that does so much good for others.”
It just shows that even very young people can make a big difference despite their size. Pack 298 collected 2,254 pounds. The total collection efforts for all Frisco units netted 11,503 pounds, which goes to Frisco Family Services.
