Troop 347 scouted for food at Smithville Food Lion Friday night (Nov. 10). The Boy Scouts collected nonperishable food to stock God's Food Pantry for the holidays. Scouts asked customers to pick up an extra item or two while they were grocery shopping to be given to the needy families in DeKalb County. Kaleb Wildes, Zach Cantrell, Carter Dias, Gavin Conger, and Webelos Jaden Wildes volunteered between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Scouts collected two baskets of food and $100 that was donated.
