Boy Scouts like Freezers

Today I had fun volunteering at the food bank on behalf of Rotary. They needed extra help because today the Boy Scouts did their annual "Scouting for Food" drive where they drive around neighborhoods and pick up sacks of canned food. Then all the troops, dens, packs get together for hot dogs and chips and time to run around and be silly. They compete between each group to see who was able to get the most poundage of food. All told, they raised nearly 11,000 pounds of food, which is quite impressive.

Some observations:

• When the scouts come to the food bank, they go on a tour (which they've already done the year before). The entire reason they go on the tour again is because they get to go into the gigantic freezer and play around. Even though it was nearly 40 degrees and COLD outside, you can bet your last dollar that every scout was more than eager to go inside the freezer.
• If you pick up sacks of food that total 11,000 pounds, about three of the bags that you pick up will be dirty diapers. Disgusting? Yes. That's just based on statistics from today.
