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.

The annual event is taking place today and Scouts across the United States are taking part.  Here in Chattooga County, the local Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts will be collecting food at a drive-thru event at the Summerville Tennis Courts.  Simply pull up with your non-perishable food items and they will unload the food for you.

The event will be taking place from 10 AM until Noon today.
