Our SELA Council Scouting for Food Drive will be held during the weekends of May 13-20, 2023

Scouting for Food takes place on two consecutive weekends. On the first weekend, Scouts can distribute bags and/or door hangers to let their neighbors know about the drive. On the second, Scouts can revisit those houses to pick up bags full of canned food, cereal, pasta, peanut butter, juice and other nonperishable items and take them to a drop off site. Or, Scouts can contact local businesses to provide a collection area to provide a collection area during the first week and Scouts can return on  a later date to retrieve those items. Or, after getting permission, Scouts can set up in front of a local grocery, supermarket to collect items. Collection truck[s] will be available upon prior request.

The food is delivered to food pantries throughout our council.

Make sure to add Scouting for Food on your unit's calendar!
