Adam Thompson, a senior at Nevis High School, and his crew will be stationed at Hugo's this weekend.
They are hoping to "stuff a truck" with donations or cash for the Hubbard County Food Shelf.
The food drive is Thompson's Eagle Scout Award project.
Adam's mom, Jill, is ecstatic that he has decided to pursue Boy Scouts' highest award.
"This has been a labor of love for 12 years. Let's finish up strong," she said of Adam's participation in Scouting since first grade.

Thompson hopes to collect "as much as possible" over the weekend.
The 17-year-old said the top five needs of the food shelf are canned fish, meat or chicken; apple juice; whole grain cereal; salad dressing and cash. He met with Bob Hansen, director of the food shelf, to get approval for the project.
Thompson will be accepting donations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday through Sunday, Oct. 20-22.
