Scouting for Food 2015

Scouting for Food is an annual food collection orchestrated by Scouts from San Francisco Bay Area Council. Local Scouts distribute plastic bags to homes across the region and return to pick up the bags, now filled with food, one week later. Collected food is distributed to needy families throughout the communities of the Council.

Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops throughout the Council will be distributing Scouting for Food donation bags in local neighborhoods. They return to collect those bags one week later.
