In the Law of the Pack, a Cub Scout gives good will. In the Boy Scout Oath, a Boy Scout pledges to help other people at all times. Throughout communities served by the Indian Nations Council, hunger persists among those in need. Through the 2010 Scouting for Food drive, Scouts can give good will and help others in need.
On Saturday, March 27th, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers from across the Indian Nations Council will collect canned goods and other non-perishables during the 2010 Scouting for Food drive. Thousands of bags will be distributed to collect these items. Donations will be taken to food bank pantries in local communities managed by the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and/or its 460 Partner Programs in 24 counties of Eastern Oklahoma. Programs supported by these agencies include emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, after-school programs and senior citizen centers.
More than ever, communities within our Council need help. By participating in Scouting for Food, you and your family can fight hunger at home. After all, a Boy Scout is Helpful.
The 2010 Scouting for Food drive will be coordinated by Districts working with units within the District. More information about Scouting for Food can be found at www.okscouts.org.
