Get ready for Scouting for Food this weekend!!
|
|
The leaves are turning color, the days are getting shorter, and the smell of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, what does that all mean? It is time for Scouting for Food!!
|
Scouting for Food is a very important part of what our organization does and food insecurity is at an all-time high this year with the federal shutdown, increase in unemployment and the increase in the cost of food. Scouting for Food is going to be the second and third week of November and the first weekend is focused on hanging the flyers and the second weekend is collecting the food.

If your unit has not yet signed up for this community event and you are interested in volunteering, Newark Troop 186 could use your help. You can sign up to volunteer using this following link - 2025 Scout Food Sort Sign-up
