Scouting for Food

A Scout is Helpful.

Scouting for Food is an annual program that involves collecting for local food banks.  Non-perishable items are collected by the scouts to provide much needed food items to help fight hunger in our communities. 

How It Works

On the second Saturday of November, Scouts will meet at Covenant Presbyterian Church at 9am to pick up route assignments. Scouts and their families will get one or more packets of maps. On that 2nd Saturday of November, Scouts will deliver a door hanger and plastic bag to each house on their map(s).

On the third Saturday of November, scouts will revisit the same houses from the same maps to pick up all donated food items. If you cannot make both weeks, please contact Scout Leaders to handle reassignments. There is no need to meet together at the Church, go directly to your assigned routes after 9am.

All items are then delivered to our rally point. Scout leadership will share the address. You will be asked to drop off all food, a count of items, and how many hours scouts and adults volunteered.

If you miss the drop off time, deliver directly to the Food Bank of South Jersey at 692 Rancocas Road Westampton, NJ 08060

This is organized through our associated Scouts BSA Troop, Troop 70.
