Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are always recruiting to get more kids into the program. James Grable district executive for the Abraham Lincoln Council of Boy Scouts says that there is a recruiting drive going on right now and that Scouts is a great way for you to make friends and learn a little bit along the way.
Grable talked about a big event coming up on March 20th to collect donations for food. The food donations help supply the Food Pantry in Taylorville. All you have to do is drop off your bag of donations on your front porch, and the Scouts will collect it.
You can also bring donations to the Taylorville Fire Department parking lot to drop them off as well. If parents are still needing help they can call Grable at 217-529-2727.
Even if you don’t have a kid, you can still help out with scouts as an adult. Grable says there are plenty of opportunities available.
