Troop 7227, sponsored by Good Hope Country Day School on St. Croix, was unable again to conduct their bi-annual Scouting For Food event at the local supermarket due to covid restrictions, so the PLC came up with a plan to conduct a one-day food drive in a local community called Judith’s Fancy. The proceeds would be donated to The Lighthouse Mission, operated by Pastor Abe of Southgate Baptist Church, to feed the homeless in Christiansted.
Usually our troop hosts a “Lock-in” in February where the Scouts spend a night at the church and play video games, eat pizza and socialize. This year we could not do it, so the Patrol Leaders’ Council decided to try to replicate this event outdoors.
During the video game tournament, Scouts made Dutch oven desserts.
