Scouting for Food

 

scoutingforfood

March is now officially "Scouting for Food" month in the Heart of America Council and it’s time to mobilize against hunger! It's easy for Scouts to participate and it all happens within your neighborhood and on your schedule. If helping wasn't enough, the unit that collects the most food will also be recognized on the field at Scout Day at the K on Sunday, April 26!    


Follow the 3-steps below to get started:

Choose Your Weekend

Whether you prefer the "One Weekend" method (knock-and-collect in a single day) or the "Two Weekend" method (distribute flyers one weekend, collect the next), simply choose a weekend anytime in March and the approach that works best for your unit’s calendar.

Be sure to explain what Scouting for Food is when going door-to-door and make sure to collect all food items from your neighborhood.

After collecting all donations in your neighborhood, drop off items at your unit's agreed upon collection location or at the nearest community drop-off location. List of preferred drop-off locations below.

Report Results

Be sure to record your service hours for a job well done. Each Scout will receive 2 service hours. Be sure to submit your totals below, including the number of bags of food collected. The top unit will be recognized on the field at Scout Day at the K on Sunday, April 26 and will receive 4 free tickets to the game.

(*If your unit participated in your own Scouting for Food drive in the fall, you can also record hours and be eligible for top unit recognition)
