“Scouting for Food” is one of the most exciting and rewarding good turn projects ever developed by a local Boy Scout council.
It is an event that captures the attention of all the council’s members, as well as the general public.
It is also an event that is a meaningful program opportunity for all units and youth members. WHEN: Saturday, November 11, 1989 distribution of bags to homes. Saturday, November 18, 1989 bags collected from homes and taken to collection points. WHO PARTICIPATES: All Cub packs, Scout troops, varsity teams, and Explorer posts, including Cub Scout Pack #31 from Grace Methodist and Boy Scout Troop #98 from St. Roch.
Last year the St. Louis Council collected over 1 million cans of food which helped to feed the needy of St. Louis and the surrounding counties through mid-May. 1989 could prove to be even bigger.
With the assistance of all of our Cub packs, Scout troops, varsity teams, and Explorer posts, we could once again collect a million cans of food which would feed the hungry through June. Plan now to participate with the Boy Scouts in this tremendous good turn project.
