Scouting for Food - Report Results (Mar 11)

Council-Wide Scouting for Food

How to report your results 

All Three Rivers District Scout troops and Cub packs were urged to join in the Council-wide food drive, set for March 11.

Reporting results was easy for those units that dropped parcels off at one of the central collection points -- someone was there count your donations for you.

A Plan-B exists for units who ran a drive on a different day, or who delivered their donations to a local food pantry instead of a central collection point: Click here to report your results.

Don't Forget!

Please also go online and record your service hours in BSA National's Journey to Excellence website.
