2010 Scouting For Food

This is Scouting’s community stewardship project aimed at addressing the problem of hunger in the community in which we live and work.

Scouting for Food is a project rooted in the very foundation of the Scouting movement.

It is up to the people of your community to make Scouting for Food a success.
