If you re feeling pessimistic about humanity, read this. Just last week, more than 90 young boy scouts in Nutley broke a record when they collected a mountain of donated foods by running around the town, gathering all the donated items from giving families, and then readying them for distribution at the local food pantry.
The recent massive food drive conducted by the Nutley Boy Scout Troop 147 and Cub Scout Packs 141 and 142 saw a record collection for the Nutley Food Pantry housed at the Nutley Family Service Bureau office on Chestnut Street. As of this date, 44,147 food items were collected up over 10,000 from the previous high 34,065 collected two years ago. That amounts to a 30 percent increase. In 2013 the total was just 10,653. The project in Nutley began in 2006 and 2007 is the first year of recording the totals with 3405 items collected.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. The Boy Scouts of America is honoring a Valley Middle School student for his heroic actions that may have saved a girl s life last year.
It all happened in June while 13-year-old Jake Friebel was on a family trip at Johnson s Shut-ins. Jake, a Boy Scout with Troop 535, was inspired by his grandfather to become a scout, first joining Cub Scouts and then crossing over into Boy Scouts in fifth grade.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. Kaitlyn Smith remembers the longing she felt watching her two older brothers become Eagle Scouts. I was infatuated during the entire service project process and ceremony, but I knew I was not allowed to have this experience yet, Smith said. I knew that BSA could help me grow as a leader, so I kept wishing that eventually, I would be able to join.
