Question about an extracurricular of mine.

Hi all!

I am getting ready to apply to schools and I have a question about an EC of mine. Through out elementary school and all of the way up to now I have participated in boyscouts and recently received my Eagle Scout rank/award. For the last 3 years, to fulfill my leadership requirements for boyscout ranks, I have facilitated a monthly feed-the-homeless program (that serves as a community service opportunity for scouts and people who live in the area) at a local community center with some of my troop's scoutmasters. Should I be listing this as a separate extracurricular from boyscouts since I spent around 80+ hours(2-3 hours a month) doing this throughout my freshman, sophomore, and junior years? BTW, I am not facilitating the program this year because I have a super busy class schedule and some personal family-related things to deal with.
