(Editor's note: Mark Wappel, executive director of the Southeast Missouri Council for the Boy Scouts, reports that the 3,000 scouts who participated in the council's Scouting for Food campaign Nov. 17 across 14 counties collected 76,500 cans of food totaling about 30 tons. In response to a Speak Out comment, Wappel apologized to people who did not have an opportunity to donate because a bag was not left at their house.

Wappel thanked those who gave and the National Guard and the food banks, both of which assisted in the campaign.)
