Scouting for Food, Apr 10th and 17th

Saturday April 10th is the kick-off for the annual food collection drive, "Scouting For Food". Our Pack will place bag hangers on doors in the neighborhood behind Super Target. The hangers ask homeowners to place food donations outside 1 week later on April 17th, when our scouts will pick up the donations for delivery to the food bank. (In past years we only put out hangers, but this year due to our increased size we will handle both the drop off and the pick up.)

Last year, Scouts and volunteers collected over 381,000 items of food for those in need in 484 communities served by the Mid-America Council. This community-wide drive helps reinforce the value of the Scout motto, “Doing a Good Turn Daily.”

We need all scouts and leaders to meet at 8:45 am at the north St. Columbkille school lot (by the library) on both April 10th and April 17th. Please wear scout uniforms. If we have a lot of help we can get this done more quickly. Sibling and adult help is also welcome. Please, we need everyone to help accomplish this task! Thanks...
