Scouting for Food

Scouting for Food is an annual Boy Scout led food drive covering the entire Washington, DC metropolitan area. On November 3, Scouts distribute plastic bags to homes in Maryland and Virginia, and flyers at District of Columbia residences. Scouts then return a week later to homes to pick up the food. Since the program launched in 1987, Scouts have collected millions of pounds of non-perishable food items to provide for people in need.

Troop 624 will meet at 8 am at St. Ann’s on Saturday, November 3, for the initial bag distribution.  The following Saturday, November 10, we will meet at 8 am for the collection and sorting of the food.
