TROOP 1916 WORKS TO
"STOP HUNGER NOW"
Every November, "Stop Hunger Now" comes to McLean, Virginia. Hundreds of volunteers gather at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer (our troop's sponsor) to package meals for those in need around the world.
Community Service is something that scouts not only need to do but should want to do. This is without doubt one of those occasions where our scouts want to help. They sing (mostly badly) and dance (definitely badly) to hours of 70s and 80s rock music whilst donning hairnets and filling plastic bags full of rice, soy and vitamins. Their simple mantra is “Speed not precision!” Last Saturday, our troop and the other splendid volunteers packaged 300,000 meals in three shifts!
Moreover, they began the same morning in November by participating in the Boy Scouts of America's annual "Scouting for Food." Troop 1916 is an mazing and inspiring group of young boys who have great futures ahead of them.
