In the Law of the Pack, a cub scout gives good will and in the Scout Promise, a scout promises to help other people at all times.    By participating in a Scouting for Food program, scouts come a step closer to fulfilling those words. As Scouts, we know how fortunate we are to have a warm meal every night — whether around the campfire or at the kitchen table. And we know that not everyone is so lucky. That’s the genesis of Scouting for Food, the annual food-collection drive run by Northwest Georgia Council. It’s another reminder to our local communities that Scouts are here, doing good turns.
