Perry Fraze, Scoutmaster Jim Brass, Stephen Rees and assistant Ashley Russ, from left, serve a meal Friday to Casar Barrera of Pacific at the Pacific Algona Senior Center in Pacific. Boy Scout Troop 835 has equipped an old school bus with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, hot water tank, bathroom and freezer.
