This project is an annual National BSA service project where non-perishable foods are collected for the local food banks. 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.
** Donut breakfast will be provided for participating scouts & parent drivers. **
Contact Mr Sanjeev if you have questions.

Location: Cedar Group Camp at Del Valle Regional Park (7000 Del Valle Road, Livermore, CA, 94550)
Cost: $50 (includes 5 meals, supplies, and campground)
Based on the popular TV show, Survivor, come enjoy a weekend campout at Del Valle Regional Park. We will be organized by Buddy Patrols, comprised of boys from each year, rather than by Patrol. Older Scouts help younger Scouts. This will enable each of the 6 teams to be equally balanced for competitions, revolving around core scouting skills to situational challenges. Specifically, we will focus on the skills needed to achieve rank advancement to first class and high adventure. Out-Law, Out-Camp, Out-Zorch!!!
Arrive in Class A uniform between 5pm-7pm. Patrols will be cooking Friday DINNER together as well as Sunday BREAKFAST. If you need to complete cooking requirements, please let us know. This should be considered a very intro backpacking trip. You must hike downhill 1/3 rd of a mile to camp (no road access). You need to pack into your backpack any gear needed from your patrol box plus 10 essentials, as well as a mess kit and plenty of scout spirit.
Please fill out this permission slip and return it by Tuesday, October 9th.
