What is “Scouting for Food?”

“Scouting for Food” is the nation’s largest single-day food drive. It began as a Scout’s service project in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1985. The Boy Scouts of America National Organization adopted the idea, and Scouting For Food began in all councils nationwide in 1988. One in five children live in a food insecure home. There are children who don’t know where their next meal will come from in every community. The goal is to help feed those in need in all of our communities.

How you can participate

On Saturday, November 7th, Cub Scout Pack 183, along with Troops and Packs all over the country, will walk around their designated neighborhoods and deliver an empty grocery bag to your door. 

Please fill the bag with canned fruits and vegetables, cereal, toiletries, diapers and other non-perishable items. A list of most needed items for the Second Harvest Food Bank is listed below.

On Saturday, November 14th, please set the filled bags out by your front door or garage in plain sight of the road so our scouts can pick them up. 

If, for some reason, your house was missed or you didn't recieve a bag please drop off donations on Saturday, November 14th at Conway Community Church between 9am-12pm.
