Scout Troop 32 of Foxboro, Massachusetts, keeps a pretty packed calendar of outdoor adventures. They camp every month all year, and these Scouts earned more than 100 badges just this summer. To offset some of the expense, they split and packaged firewood to sell at the farmstand off of Route 140. Driving by the next day, their Scoutmaster was thrilled.

"They're almost all gone; we've been selling really well," Scoutmaster Brian Compter recalled thinking. "Little did I know, when she came over to see what money was deposited, there was I think a single dollar in the donation bin."

"We bundled all the wood. We left it here. Kind of disappointing we couldn't just trust people to leave money in the mailbox," said Scout Cameron Landers.
