Boy Scouts Collect Food for Local Communities
The scouts will walk through neighborhoods and put food collection bags on porches, to be collected later when filled.
Residents of Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia and counties should be on the lookout Saturday, Nov. 9 for a bag with a Boy Scouts of America logo hanging off of their front door or sitting on their porch; the scout troops are continuing their annual food drive on Saturday to help feed local communities, and the scouts hope that residents will drop cans of food in those bags for the boys to pick up on Saturday, Nov. 16.
Scout troops from Montgomery county, Philadelphia and Delaware county comprise the scouts’ Cradle of Liberty council, which last year brought in over 312,000 cans of food from their Scouting for Food Project.
On Saturday, Nov. 9, boy scouts in the region will walk through neighborhoods attaching bags to doors or porches; the bags have boy scout logos and instructions for the residents, who are encouraged to drop canned goods into the bags, which the scouts will collect on Saturday, Nov. 16.
