Annual Aluminum Can Drive
The official results are in for the aluminum can drive with Midwest Iron. It was the third best drive ever completed in the history of the event! 26,930 pounds of aluminum were collected and crushed. The units received money for bringing in the cans, and Midwest Iron has given Pawnee District FOS over $1,100 due to the amount collected.
Roger with Midwest Iron was impressed with the help and told me that the Scouts, Leaders, and Parents that assisted with the effort were very hard workers and brought enough help to manage the influx of the aluminum coming in. Please, take the time to email a thank you to Roger and/or thank him in person for his generous work he does with all of us in the Scouting world.
