A Cub Scout promises to "give goodwill" and a Boy Scout promises "to help other people at all times." There is no better way to show our Scouting Spirit than by participating in the annual Scouting for Food drive!

On February 3 and 10, 2018 , Scouts throughout the Westark Area Council will help make a difference to fight hunger. Scouting for Food is the leading service program for Boy Scouts of America. In partnership with the Harps Food Stores and KFSM TV5 News , this council-wide service project begins Saturday, February 3rd as Scouts distribute bags in their neighborhoods to announce the upcoming food drive. Scouts return the following Saturday, February 10th, to pick up and deliver donations to their local food banks and pantries. Troop 2, based at First United Methodist Church, takes donations to the Community Services Clearinghouse.

In addition, Harps Food Stores will provide an opportunity for Scouts to collect food at their stores on February 10th.

How can you help?

1. On Saturday the 3rd, look for a scouting for food bag on your front door. Fill it with canned, non-perishable goods. Place it by your front door on Saturday the 10th.

2. No bag? Pick up a bag at First United Methodist Church on Sunday February 4th. Bring your food donation next Sunday February 11th.

3. Also you may bring donations to Troop 2 on Saturday the 10th, while we help at the Harp's store on South 74th.

4. We need drivers! Help Troop 2 distribute bags on the 3rd, and pick up on the 10th. Our distribution areas are the neighborhoods south of Zero Street near Ben Geren Park, and Chaffee Crossing.

If you are able to help Troop 2, contact David Crowell at

479-310-0322 , or leaders@westarktroop2.org .
