“Scouting for Food” is Scouting’s community stewardship project aimed at addressing the problem of hunger in the community in which we live and work.
Scouting for Food is a food collection effort carried out by Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Cub Scouts from your community. Food drives can be organized at the council or district level or by each individual unit as needed.
Scouts distribute food drive donation bags throughout a designated area and then return to collect plastic grocery bags filled with donated food. The bags are collected by the Scouts and their families and carried to local food pantries, churches, shelters for the homeless, and other local agencies that feed the needy.
