Scouting for Food
Boy Scouts gives good will and in the Boy Scout Promise, a boy scout promises to help other people at all times. By participating in a Scouting for Food program, scouts come a step closer to fulfilling those words. Across the country, in many councils and districts, thousands of troops and packs with millions of scouts involved collect tens of millions of pounds of food which is distributed to needy neighbors. If your troop or pack is not involved in a local program, or if there is not a program in place, this is a great opportunity for you to help improve your scouting program.
Troop 577 will distribute the door hangers beginning at 9:00AM on November 14th. The food will than be collected on November 21st and turned into the Council office. The food collected will be distributed to 3 different food banks, and our distribution center is the Second Harvest Food bank.
The top collector in the Troop will earn the right to pie the Scout Master, Troop goal is to collect 2000 pounds.
