Scouting for Food

The Baltimore Area Council hosts only one Council-wide service project, Scouting for Food. Last year our scouts and scouters collected over 250,000 LBS of food that stayed local in food pantries and shelters in their communities. We all know the need this important program serves in our neighborhoods. This is an amazing time to have your unit be in uniform, out and about in the community being seen giving service.

The question isn't "Is your Unit participating in Scouting for Food, it's when are is your Unit participating?" Although units are able to select distribution/collection dates the Baltimore Area Council is promoting:

March 19-20, 2022 - Door Hanger Distribution

March 26-27, 2022 - Food Collection
