Scouting for Food

1. For more information, please contact: Victor Bieniek at (703) 855-8428 or vbieniek@gmail.com Pack 681 Scouting for Food This November 7th and 14th, Pack 681 will participate in Scouting for Food. Scouting for Food is the main community service activity for the Cub Scouts each season. Last year, Pack 681, together with Pack 661 and Troop 681, collected over 4,000 pounds of food for the needy. This is a great way for scouts to learn about charitable work and to give something back to their community. We need everyone to turn out! We'll meet at the Scout House at 8:30am on both days. There will be donuts and coffee! Drop Off Date: Saturday, November 7th, 8:30 am Pick-up Date: Saturday, November 14th, 8:30 am “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 the Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Cub Scouts in our community. Scouts distribute food drive donation requests (flyers and bags) throughout a designated area and then return to collect plastic grocery bags filled with donated food. The bags are collected and carried to local food pantries, churches, shelters for the homeless, and other local agencies that feed the needy. Scouting for Food is a project rooted in the very foundation of the Scouting movement. Through initiative and hard work, the Boy Scouts have developed a framework that can help local food pantries feed tens of thousands of needy local residents with emergency aid. It is up to the people of your community to make Scouting for Food a success. Visit the Pack Website for Details: www.pack681.com
