Scouts collect 'a ton' of food

It’s hard to believe, but just 30 Moncton area scouts, cubs and beavers have gathered more than a ton of pasta, pasta sauce and canned meat for a Moncton food bank.

Members of First Moncton-St George’s Scouting spent five weeks collecting for the food bank.

The kids from First Moncton-St. George’s Scouting spent just five weeks canvassing families, friends and the congregation at St. George’s Anglican to come up with 2,534 pounds (1,150 kg) of food, which works out to 38 kilograms (84.5 lbs.) per scout.

The foodstuffs will go to the YMCA Reconnect’s food bank.

The local scouts were one of three scout organizations in the region to pick up the cross-Canada challenge issued by a scout leader in Pickering, Ontario.

Allen Urquhart, a scout leader with First Moncton-St.George’s Scouting, said he learned about the Pickering challenge and immediately realized the potential for the Metro area.

He accepted the challenge on behalf of the St. George’s scouts and issued it to others in the region, but as far as he knows, no one has been as successful yet.

Saying how proud he was of the kids, he said, “there’s no prizes, no trophy, just bragging rights.”

Meanwhile, the success and the help it will bring at what is a particularly difficult time of year for area food banks has inspired the scouts to dream bigger.

“We’re seriously thinking of doing this again next year and making it an annual campaign.”
