Boy Scouts Launch Large-Scale Food Drives Across Texas Panhandle

Local Boy Scouts are actively engaging in community service through various initiatives. In Amarillo, Scouts are participating in the 2025 Scouting for Food drive, canvassing neighborhoods to collect food donations for the High Plains Food Bank, which is crucial for families facing food insecurity. Michael Lopez, a district executive, emphasized the program's role in teaching Scouts about service while making a tangible difference in their community. Meanwhile, Tim Forloine Jr. and Aidan Heinbaugh, two local Scouts, are working on their Eagle Scout projects to benefit their schools, with Forloine creating outdoor workout stations and Heinbaugh renovating a concrete pad at a camp. Additionally, the 1st Port Nelson Scout group is organizing a fundraiser dinner to support participation in the upcoming 2027 World Jamboree. These activities highlight the Scouts' commitment to community service and personal development.
