Greetings!
The 26th annual Scouting for Food Good Turn begins on Saturday, Nov. 13. Scouts will distribute more than one million bags and return the following Saturday, Nov. 20, to collect the bags filled with donated canned goods.
Here are some important items for all Scouts and leaders:
- All Scouts and Scouters should be in full uniform.
- Select an assembly place and time for Nov. 13, such as the unit's regular meeting place or another convenient, central location. Be sure everyone is aware of the time and location.
- Give brief instructions on distributing bags to all adults and Scouts.
- All Scouts should travel in groups of two or more (the buddy system).
- Have enough vehicles to support the number of Scouts and the area covered.
- Scouts should leave the bags on doors. Do not enter the home and do not put bags in mailboxes.
- Bags should be distributed to residences only, no businesses.
- Vehicles should stay as close to Scouts as possible. Adults should be closely supervise Scouts by walking alongside them.
