On the field Sunday, gridiron warriors will battle for football supremacy, while members of the Palmerton Girl Scout Troop 301 were setting their own records.

The troop held its annual “Souper Bowl” inside Country Harvest by collecting cans of soup for the local food pantry.“We do it every year on Friday-Sunday of Super Bowl weekend,” said Tammy Stetler, event organizer. “Our goal each year is to surpass the total from the year before.”Scouts have been holding the food drive each year since 2011.Last year, they collected almost 2,100 cans of soup.As for that goal, consider it accomplished.“We have two hours to go on Sunday and we’re already at 3,300,” Stetler said. “It far exceeded my wildest dreams of what the kids could do.”She was joined at the table Sunday afternoon by scouts Ashley Stetler and Paige Frohnheiser.After the donations are finished coming in, the soup is delivered to officers of the Christian Action Council of Palmerton Area Churches (CACPAC).“I think it’s really important for the girls to learn to give back,” Stetler said. “It helps give them an understanding of what it means to do something for someone without expecting anything in return.”
