This Saturday, Nov 17th, we will be meeting at the Gym at 9:30am to pick up donations for our annual Scouting for Food Drive. WE NEED DRIVERS, anyone with a vehicle who is able to drive to speed up the pick up process is much appreciated.
Scouting For Food is one of nation’s largest food drives that Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturing Crew members participate in to support their local Food Pantries and Hunger Relief agencies. The Scouts of the Cradle of Liberty Council have continuously exceeded expectations and fully stocked dozens of our partner agencies with bags of canned food.
Everyone will be divided into groups with multiple adults per group and we will go out and pick up the donations within our given area.
The time accumulated this weekend will count as community service for the scouts and maximum participation may help us qualify for the Messengers of Peace award.
Our pack meeting that was originally planned for Saturday at 5pm has been RESCHEDULED for Monday, December 3rd.
Scouts who have participated in Scouting Food are welcome to join us for a lock in at the church. The lock-in will start at 7pm and is $5 per person which includes pizza, drinks, and a small breakfast in the morning. Scouts will have the opportunity to enjoy the night with their friends while playing games and preparing for the Mayfair Thanksgiving Day Parade that will take place on Sunday, November 18th. The Unit will be leaving from the church to gather at Welsh and Frankford Avenues. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at dgriess@cubscoutpack1776.org
DON’T FORGET WE ARE ALSO COLLECTING CLOTHES & SHOES FOR OUR CLOTHING DRIVE.
EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.
