Seekonk Troop 1 and Troop 9 Scouts along with Pack 88 Cub Scouts participated in their annual scouting for food event, collecting over 11,000 pounds of food for Doorways, Inc., a food pantry serving Seekonk. Scouts collected, transported, and sorted the donations.
Troop 1 Scouts volunteered with the Seekonk Land Trust at the Cushing Conservation area located at 98 Chestnut Street, Seekonk. Scouts conducted trail maintenance which consisted of widening the trail and fresh woodchips on the path. This project was the second time Scouts volunteered at the Cushing Conservation area this year. Previous work consisted of trail maintenance.
November’s scout meetings kicked off with an outdoor cooking competition. Patrols pre-planned food to present then had to add two mystery ingredients on the night of the competition. The winner of the evening's event was a dutch oven baked red velvet cake with a mystery ingredient skittles topping. Runners up included tacos, fajitas, vegetable soup, and spaghetti and meatballs. The Scouts experience with meal planning and outdoor cooking was good preparation, especially for this month’s campout.
Troop 1 and Troop 9’s November campout was a Campsgiving event at Camp Aquapaug. Scouts utilized their camping and cooking skills to serve a tasty meal of turkey and all the fixings including mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cornbread.
Scouts challenged their outdoor baking skills with dutch oven baked apple pie and monkey bread as well as hand cranked ice cream.
