SCOUTING FOR FOOD
| What: |
Food Drive to
assist The Caring Cuborard, an organization that fights hunger by
supplying food those in need.
The first Saturday, scouts
meet at Myerstown UCC and receive instructions from Troop 20.
The Scouts, along with a parent or leader, choose a route in the
greater-Myerstown area to distribute the Scouting for Food bags.
The second Saturday, the scouts again meet at Myerstown UCC
for instructions. Again, they choose a route, not
necessarily the same route as the previous Saturday. Then,
they go pick up all the bags that are filled with food and bring
them back to the church, where a large truck awaits to transport
the food. |

Where: |
Myerstown United Church of Christ (click here for directions) |
| When: |
This event
begins at 9 AM over two consecutive Saturdays, 11/10/2012 and
11/17/2012.
|
| Why: |
Scouting for Food fosters
6 of the 10 Cub Scout purposes:
Character Development, Good Citizenship,
Respectful
Relationships, Personal Achievement, Friendly Service and Preparation for Boy Scouts! |
| Pack 460 Event Coordinator: |
BSA Troop 20
also helps, and is the primary coordinator.
John High is coordinator for
Pack 460. |
| What to Bring: |
On the first
Saturday, a backpack works well to hold extra bags.
On the
second Saturday (food pickup), trucks and large SUV work best, so
try to use them if possible.
No refreshments are provided
by the Pack, so it is suggested to bring personal water and
snacks. |
| What to Wear: |
Scouts should
wear their Class A uniforms both Saturdays. |
