Scouting for Food: Food Collection

Scouting For Food is one of nation’s largest food drives that Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venture Crew members participate in to support their local Food Pantry’s 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 and bags of canned food.

We will meet at 10:00 AM Saturday morning for the second part of our Scouting for Food initiative.  This is also the most important day of this initiative and we can use all the help we can get from our scouts. Feel free to bring friends and family to assist.

Once we are all gathered we will break everyone up into groups with a vehicle to collect the bags of canned goods.  We will bring the goods back to the gym where others will be sorting and repacking them and once we are finished we will drop off all of the food at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church on .

The time spent this weekend and last weekend will count as community service for the scouts and maximum participation may help us qualify for the Messengers of Peace award.

Please make sure to dress warm and dress in layers as it will be cold. Also bring you hat and gloves. We will be outside a majority of the morning.  Don’t forget a water bottle to stay hydrated !!
