Scouting For Food

One Saturday in April is typically when our Pack does the annual food collection drive, "Scouting For Food". Our Pack will place hangers on doors in the neighborhood behind Super Target. The hangers ask homeowners to place food donations outside 1 week later when the older Scouts in the Troop will pick up the donations for delivery to the food bank.

Last year, Scouts and volunteers collected over 500,000 items of food for those in need in 484 communities served by the Mid-America Council. This community-wide drive helps reinforce the value of the Scout motto, “Doing a Good Turn Daily.”

Please wear class A uniforms . If we have a lot of help we can get this done more quickly. Sibling and adult help is also welcome. Please, we need everyone to help accomplish this task!

Note: Our District (Wagon Wheel) is using a different Scouting for Food schedule than the rest of the Council, so don't get confused if you see different dates.

I cannot think of a better way to conclude Lent than by collecting food donations to help those that need our prayers. Thank you for your help!
