Please support this annual National BSA service project where non-perishable foods are collected for local food banks. We will go door-to-door to hang informational flyers requesting donations on Saturday 11/4, and collect donations on Saturday 11/11. We also need scouts and adults to help staff our own collection site at the Woodranch Clubhouse. Scouts may choose to participate on either or both days and for 11/11, at either of the 2 service opportunities.

This is a great event to bring a friend (1st class requirement 10). Scouts will also earn service hours for rank advancement.

Since our assigned area is large and spread out (roughly 1.5 sq. miles with over 1300 houses), we will need many scouts and drivers to help on both days.

Patrol Competition – Scouts, friends, and family are encouraged to bring nonperishable food donations (Hover here for Suggestions) on 11/11, Saturday to the Woodranch Clubhouse between 9am – 11am. Let us know your Patrol’s name when dropping off, so the donations count toward your Patrol’s total. The Patrol with the most donated items will win each Patrol member a $5 Jamba Juice gift card.

** Donut breakfast will be provided for participating scouts & parent drivers. **
