Tonight our Scouts were in charge of the combined activity, and they planned a really great one: a Scavenger Hunt Food Drive.
12 names of known families were put on a list, along with 8 clues that were based on those names or addresses. Obviously only 8 of the families had food for the food drive, and the clues held the secret to which ones. We split all of the youth into 7 teams, each with an adult driver. The first team to collect their food and return it would get a stash of candy!
Everyone had a great time, learned a lot about how to get around our town, and got to know the people on their team better. But the best thing about this activity was that we collected 56 food items for the Yavapai Food Bank, which will be delivered tomorrow.
A big thank you to all of the drivers for their time and energy, and a big thanks to all of the youth that showed up - they were competitive, lively, and most of all, they were charitable tonight with their time.
