DBC Scouting for Food

DBC Scouting for Food Scouting for Food, first launched by the Greater St. Louis Area Council in 1985, has been adopted by Councils across the country.

Dan Beard Council & Freestore Foodbank are Scouting for Food, a Council-wide service project that will collect food for those in need across the Dan Beard Council service area in the fall of 2021. Longtime Scouters in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky will recall a similar service project in Dan Beard Council, the United Food and Clothing Drive held in the 1980’s.

“It’s exciting that we ar

e mobilizing on a Council-wide service project that truly exemplifies one of the key tenets of Scouting – service to others,” said Beryl Love, Scouting for Food chair and editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “My hope is that each and every unit will step forward so we can have the greatest impact possible.”

How does Scouting for Food Work? Step 1

On Saturday of November 6, 2021, Packs, Troops and Posts will fan out across their local neighborhoods, circulating flyers asking for non-perishable food donations. Step 2

On the following Saturday, November 13, 2021, units will return to the homes where flyers were placed to collect the donations, which then will be dropped off at food pantries and Freestore Foodbank affiliated agencies in the units’ home district.
