Alameda Scouts such as Austin Britton (left) and Alys Cochrane fanned out across the Island last weekend to leave doorhangers at the homes where they will pick up donations for the annual Scouting for Food drive this Saturday, Nov. 12.

The annual “food-raising” event sponsored by the Alameda Council — Boy Scouts of America to benefit the Alameda Food Bank (AFB) “Scouting for Food,” took place last weekend and saw an impressive outpouring of community giving.

Three Alameda Boy Scouts, members of Troop 11, took action and celebrated Earth Day, April 20, by planting two Chinese Pistachio trees in Washington Park, during the City of Alameda’s Earth Day Festival.

Alameda Boy Scouts Miles Abadia, Charles Carvalho, Aidan Potts and Mutaaz Whitehead received the Eagle Scout award during a Boy Scouts of America National Court of Honor held last spring.
