Spencer has been working on the Citizenship in the Community merit badge, and he had to volunteer 8 hours for a local charity. He dragged the bike trailer around the neighborhood and asked people for donations to the Denver Rescue Mission, which helps homeless people downtown.
Our living room filled up with donations all week. People in our neighborhood were so generous. One man went straight to his closet and just took things off the rack to donate to the Rescue Mission. One sweet old lady couldn't hear what Spencer said, which is saying something because Spencer has a loud voice, but she gave him a dollar because she could tell he was asking for something.
On Saturday, I took Spencer and his good pal downtown, and they unloaded all their donations. It's going to snow this week, and they felt good that they rounded up some coats to keep people warm. Go Scouts!

Way to go, Spence. You're getting a lot more out of scouts than I ever did. Scouts for me was mostly playing capture the flag and throwing things in the fire.
