Scouts across New Hampshire's Lakes Region, the state, and the country spread out across their hometowns and delivered flyers and door hangers to their neighbors' homes as part one of Scouting America's Scouting for Food event on the weekend of Nov. 7-8 . Part two of this annual food-collection drive will occur on Saturday, Nov. 14, when those same young men and women will return to the homes they visited this past weekend to pick up donated items. Scouts consolidate, sort, and deliver those food items to area food pantries.
Scouting for Food is an opportunity to teach youth the value of service and giving back to the local community, as well as an opportunity to live the Scout Slogan: "Do a Good Turn Daily."
If scouts from a local pack, troop, ship, or other Scouting America organization did not reach one's home with a door hanger but one would like to contribute, contact the local Scouting America organization, which can be found by clicking the "Be A Scout" link at scouting.org.
