A Scout promises “to help other people at all times.” There is no better way to show Scouting Spirit than the annual Scouting for Food drive! Scouting for Food is the nation’s largest food drive. The goal is to help feed the hungry of our communities. It began as a Scout’s service project in St. Louis in 1985 and was adopted by the National Organization in 1988.This is just one of the ways that Scouting shows their communities the Scouting values of being loyal, helpful, kind and cheerful.
After the Scouts collect the food, they deliver it to local food pantries to help feed people in our local area.

Can’t make it to Cub Foods in Alexandria? Gate City Bank will have a box in their lobby to collect donations through the end of March.
