Scouting for Food

Saturday, November 7 is the bag drop-off. 

Saturday, November 14 is the bag pickup.  

Scouting for Food is a food collection effort carried out by Scouts from your community. Scouts distribute and collect bags throughout a designated area; then the bags are collected and carried to common collection points. These points, which are various food banks in the area, then distribute the food to those in need in the community, as well as other local homeless shelters and kitchens.

With your help, the Scouts of the Verdugo Hills Council can feed many families this holiday season and can make a difference in the lives of those in need.

Council Wide Recruitment Nights - Oct 20, 21, and 22 at 7 pm by Zoom

Calling all Boys and Girls Kinder-5th Grade

Scouts have been having the time of their lives making new friends and learning new skills in an environment designed to help them succeed. From building their own pinewood derby® car to learning how to roast the perfect marshmallow with their best friends at a family campout, your child will LOVE being a Scout while they learn to set personal goals. You will meet other parents who are just like you, trying to teach their children strong values and how to achieve success in life while still having fun as a family. Join us zoom for a Council-wide recruitment meeting to learn about Scouting.

Tuesday, Oct. 20, Wednesday, Oct. 21, and Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020, at 7pm.
