Scouting For Food 2012
Mar 3, 2012 & Mar 10, 2012
This is a Council-wide event with units participating all over San Diego!

A Cub Scout promises to "give good will" and a Boy Scout promises "to help other people at all times." There's no better way is there to show our Scouting Spirit than by participating in the annual Scouting For Food drive! The annual campaign takes place March 3rd and 10th, 2012!

Across the country, millions of Scouts and adult leaders will take part in this important Good Turn for America, collecting canned goods and other non-perishables for their local community food banks. Given the economic situation faced by many across the country, food banks are facing increased demand and requests for help while supplies have run extremely low. In 2011, the Salvation Army was able to extend help to needy families for MONTHS thanks to efforts by Scouts in the annual campaign!

Scouting for Food is San Diego's single largest food drive and with your help, we can show our communities the true strength of Scouting's commitment to others.

The goal of our 2012 Scouting for Food campaign is to have increased participation from all units as well as to collect 25 TONS OF FOOD (50,000 pounds)! Given the strength of Scouting here in San Diego and Imperial Counties, we can have a huge impact on the lives of those in need! We need YOUR help to make this a success!

Join Scouting

BE A SCOUT is ready to help with your unit recruiting. That means more exposure for Scouting and more leads for your unit. It also means that you’ll need to make sure that all your unit information is accurate.

Parents today often use the internet searches to find youth activities like Scouting. BeAScout.org uses Google Maps to help parents locate packs, troops, and crews near them and lets them request information from local Scout units.
