Join us as we team up with Food Bank of the Rockies and food pantries across the State of Colorado for Scouting for Food; a neighborhood based food collection campaign that will help feed the hungry across Colorado this holiday season. Items collected stay in your community and will be distributed directly to those in need.

A list of participating food pantries/banks will be posted on the Greater Colorado Council website.

Join us at Hamilton Scout Headquarters, Magness Conference Room as we Kick Off this years food drive.  There is no charge for the Kick off. We would like to prepare and place for you, please register here for the Kick Off.  Each unit should select a Scouting for Food Coordinator and begin planning for a successful food drive.

Distribute Door Hangers

On November 2 & 3, distribute door hangers close to home. Have adult accompanied, uniformed Scouts leave door hangers on the front doors of your neighbors. Keep track of the specific addresses where door hangers and place.

Filled bags should be left out overnight Friday, November 8. Scouts and their parents will return to each house and collect all food donations. Items can be picked up the morning of Saturday, November 9, 2024, beginning at 9 a.m. Please be sure to canvass the entire neighborhood.
