By participating in a Scouting for Food program, scouts come a step  closer to fulfilling those words. Across the country, in many councils  and districts, thousands of troops and packs with millions of scouts  involved collect tens of millions of pounds of food which is distributed  to needy neighbors. If your troop or pack is not involved in a local  program, or if there is not a program in place, this is a great  opportunity for you to help improve your scouting program. 
  
 The  first step in getting your unit involved in a food drive is to find a  Scouting For Food Chairman - someone that will organize and promote the  project and be a liaison between your unit and district. Once that  person is identified, it is easy to plug into an existing district or  council program. If you want to start up a new program, the following is  how it usually works:  
  Bags are distributed to homes with instructions on pick-up date - usually the next weekend.Full bags are collected.Bags are delivered to food bank. 
 General guidelines for organizing your unit's Scouting for Food program:  Contact local food bank to make sure they want helpPut our council's Scouting for Food date on your unit calendar. Determine how many scouts will participate and how many adults will be available to drive when picking up foodDetermine  how many homes can be covered in buddy teams - in single home  neighborhoods, about 175-200 houses can be handled in 2 hoursDetermine number of bags neededOn a city map, mark out what area your unit will coverDivide the area into smaller sections for teams to chooseMake maps and sign-up sheet available at unit meetings prior to eventCreate instructions to include with distributed bagsDistribute bags and instructions to scouts before event - scouts should staple instructions to bags
