Greetings!
How important is the annual Scouting for Food drive?
Scouting for Food supplies more than three months of nutritious food to more than 500 pantries throughout our council.
Our Scouts learn the value of service while helping feed the hungry. More than 41 million cans of food were collected during the first 25 years of the drive.
Scouts will distribute more than a million bags on Saturday, Nov. 13 and return a week later to collect the bags. Read more...
Thank you for helping young people learn values and develop their character through the Scouting program.
--Greater St. Louis Area Council,
Boy Scouts of America
--P.S.: Please be generous when asked to participate in your United Way campaign. The Council receives approximately 18 percent of its operating budget from United Way agencies. Read more on
