Scouting for Food is one of the Boy Scouts of America’s best known national service projects and is conducted by virtually every local Boy Scout council across the nation on an annual basis. Scouting For Food was first conducted on a national level, as a National Good Turn, by the BSA in 1986 and collected more than 60 million food items in that year. An annual tradition, Scouting for Food rallies Scouts across the nation to collect food for local food banks.  This past Saturday, Chattooga County Scouts collected food near the Scout Hut in Summerville.  All of the food collected was given to CRC of Chattooga County for distribution.  Local Scout representatives told WZQZ News, “Chattooga County Scouts would like to thank the community for supporting their Scouting for Food food drive.  Pack 38, Troop 7B, and Troop 7G received 884 lbs of food to return to our community to help those in need. Scouting for food is one way the Boy Scouts of America works to improve communities across the nation”.
