Scouting for Food - Sunday, November 3, 2019
The BSA's Annual Scouting for Food drive will be underway soon. Scouting for Food is an important service project where Scouts from all over the National Capitol Area go out and collect food donations for area food banks.
Our Pack goes door to door for food donations in the Maplewood and Wyngate neighborhoods. As a reward for the Scout’s hard work, we will follow up the food collection with ice cream at a Maplewood-Alta Vista Park (5209 Alta Vista Rd., Bethesda, MD 20814).
When: On Sunday, November 3, 2019 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.

We encourage all Cub Scouts to participate in this event, but it is not your only chance to help out with the food drive. If you do plan to go on your own, we encourage you to coordinate your collection route with Dan Blair to maximize our Pack’s coverage!
