Scouting for Food

What is Scouting for Food?
The purpose of Scouting for Food is to allow all Scouts and Scouters the opportunity to do a Council-wide Good Turn for the community. Scouting for Food gives each Cub Scout, Scouts BSA, and Venturer a sense of community and citizenship.  Every year Scouts from all over the country participate in this project to feed the hungry. Hunger is an unacceptable issue that the Boy Scouts of America has taken on as a challenge to fight. We as leaders must do all we can to pass onto our Scouts an attitude of service in fighting this dreaded problem. In our service area, 1 in 7 people struggle with hunger.

When is Scouting for Food?

The event takes place on Saturday, November 8, 2025 and Saturday, November 15, 2025.

On November 8, Cub Scouts will distribute the Scouting for Food flyers, letting your community know the Troops will be back on November 15, to collect bags of food that they are willing to donate. The food will be donated to the Food Pantry at Grace Lutheran Church.
