What is Scouting for Food?

As Scouts, we know how fortunate we are to have a warm meal every night — whether around the campfire or at the kitchen table. And we know that not everyone is so lucky. That’s the genesis of Scouting for Food, the annual food-collection drive run by Scouts across the country. It’s another reminder to our local communities that Scouts are here, doing good turns.

Scouting for Food takes place in two parts. On the Monday or Tuesday, and then Scouting for Food Saturday. Scouts distribute bags and/or door hangers to let their neighbors know about the drive. On Scouting for Food Saturday, Scouts revisit those houses to pick up bags full of canned food, cereal, pasta, peanut butter, juice and other nonperishable items.

The food is delivered to needy families all throughout the community via the food bank.

We greatly appreciate you participation.
