A GOOD TURN FOR AMERICA
A Cub Scout promises to "give good will" and a Boy Scout promises "to help other people at all times." There's no better way is there to show our Scouting Spirit than by participating in the annual SCOUTING FOR FOOD drive! The annual campaign takes place March 6th and 13th, 2010!
Across the country, millions of Scouts and adult leaders will take part in this important Good Turn for America, collecting canned goods and other non-perishables for their local community food banks. Given the economic situation faced by many across the country, food banks are facing increased demand and requests for help while supplies have run extremely low. In 2009, the Salvation Army was able to extend help to needy families for MONTHS thanks to efforts by Scouts in the annual campaign!
In 2010, the Boy Scouts of America celebrates it's 100th Anniversary! Scouting for Food is
San Diego's single largest food drive and with your help, we can show our communities the true strength
of Scouting's commitment to others.
The goal of our 2010 Scouting for Food campaign is to have 100% participation from all units as well as to collect 100 TONS OF FOOD! Given the strength of Scouting here in Southern California, we can have a huge impact on the lives of those in need! We need YOUR help to make this a success!
