SCOUTING FOR FOOD
Across the country, on February 6th, Scouts and adult leaders will collect bags of food for their local community food banks. Being one of the largest Troops in Mecklenburg County Council, just imagine the dramatic impact we can make on and for the local community.
We had great participation in this project last year. This year is the time for us to re-dedicate ourselves to the service of our community.
Saturday, February 6th, groups will go door to door between 9:30 am & 2:00 pm asking for donations of canned or packaged non-perishable food. This should only take 4 1/2 hours. we will be working in the Highland Creek neighborhood. We are setting a goal of 3,000 cans. We have over 80 scouts and 25 leaders plus many active parents which add up to an army. Please remember that community service is an integral part to your advancement in rank.
We will meet at 9:00 am in the HPC church parking lot and ride the bus over to Highland Creek. Bring a bag lunch. If you have questions please contact Mr. Redies.
Please help make it a successful one. Remember, we are selling the Scouting spirit so put on your uniform and smile.
