Scouting for Food

Scouting for Food_Color

Scouting for Food is one of nation’s largest food drives that Cub Scouts, Scouts, and Venturers participate in to support their local food pantries and hunger-relief agencies.

The Scouts of the Cradle of Liberty Council have continuously exceeded expectations and helped fulfil the need.
