2010 Scouting for Food: March 2010

Scouting for Food was a great success in 2009! Thank you to everyone that donated, volunteered at a collection site, gave leadership to your unit or district, and of course to our Scouts! Over 150,000 items of food was collected for local food shelters.

Be sure to mark your calendars now for 2010. March will be Scouting for Food month! Units can collect and drop off their food anytime during the month of March to a local shelter in need. We will also have a celebration and final turn in day on March 27 at the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

Help others and help your scouts and unit earn the service ribbon for the 100 Year of Celebration Patch. AAC will give additional recognition to each scout who collects 100 items or more.
