As an ongoing service commitment, Walker’s Boy Scout Troop serves food at one of the local shelters once a month. They meet in the morning and do some food preparation before the guests arrive.
The first time he attended, the troop needed to provide two sheet cakes for the guests. He signed up to make those and he will be able to list them on the achievement card for his 4-H cake decorating project. (We are learning that double dipping is a legitimate and sanity saving way to meet requirements for the clubs we are in.)
The adults behind the line are from other ministries from St. John and parents of scouts. Serving at the soup kitchen is such a great opportunity for Walker to help in the community, to give from his heart and hands and to get to know people from the parish.
I love this project.
Go! Walker!
