It's that time of year again. Get your service hours in for your rank advancements!
WE NEED as many ADULTS as possible!
This year's Scouting for Food dates are Saturday, March 14th, and 21st, 2009.
As always this will be a combined event with Cub Scout Pack 127. All scouts, scouters, and adults need to be at the corner of Jackson St. and Center St. at 8:45am both days.
Saturday, March 14th, 2009 is Bag Drop-off. We will meet at 9am where you will be divided into groups. We are required to have 2 adults per group (tiger cubs need to have their adult partner present, or 2 tiger cubs per partner). Each group will be given a route to complete, when the group completes their assigned route they need to return to the corner of Jackson St. and Center St. to pick up additional routes, untill all routes have been completed.
Remember to use sidewalks at all times, BSA does frowns on walking through people's grass. Bag are to be placed on doors, screen doors ONLY, NATIONAL BOY SCOUTS of AMERICA POLICY and FEDERAL POSTAL LAW DOES NOT PERMIT BAGS TO BE PLACED ON UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE MAILBOXES (please DO NOT place bags in/on any mailbox.) Saturday, March 21st, 2009 is Bag Pick-up. We will meet at 9am same place. This day will run alittle different, we need adults to help count the food as it is brought in, as well as vehicles and drivers for the routes. One vehicle and one driver will be assigned with each BOY SCOUT GROUP; and one vehicle, one driver, and a second adult will be assigned to each CUB SCOUT GROUP. CUB SCOUTS are not allowed to step off the curbs into the street to put food in vehicles, they must hand off the bags to an adult who will then place the food in the vehicles. CUB SCOUTS must stay out of the streets unless crossing the streets at a crosswalk (per national BSA policy) Remember scouts will not be premited to leave the event until dismissed by their Scoutmaster / Cubmaster. Any scout going home with anyone else other than their parent or legal guardian must have a note form their parent or legal guardian stating with whom they are allowed to leave with.
Bag Drop-off should take from one to two hours, and Bag Pick-up should take from two to three hours, depending upon the number of people we get to help.
