We will go door-to-door with informational flyers requesting donations on Saturday November 10th, and collect and deliver the donations to a central point at the LDS church in Danville on Saturday November 17th. Scouts may choose to participate on either or both days.

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. Parents who can drive, please fill out the information especially providing your cell phone number.
