Hank, too bad LouAnne didn\’t mention that the Cub Scout Packs and Boy Scout Troops of South Brunswick will be conducting our annual \’Scouting for Food\’ drive beginning on October 25. Bag drop-off will be on Saturday, october 25, and pick-up will be Saturday, November 1. There are 3 Cub Scout Packs and 3 Boy Scout Troops covering the entire township, and all of the food collected goes directly to the South Brunswick Food Pantry.
