On March 17th, Tecumseh Council Boy Scouts of America will conduct the largest single day food drive in the Miami Valley – Scouting For Food. Local Scouts will be collecting food to deliver to local food pantries during a time of year when food pantry supplies are typically getting low. There will be close to 2,500 Scouts participating in the food drive in five counties (Clark, Greene, Clinton, Champaign, Logan).
On March 10th, local Scouts in uniform will be leaving green door hangers on the front door of local homes. These door hangers will give instructions on what kind of foods we accept and how to leave the items. On March 17th, local Scouts in uniform will return to collect the items and will proceed to take them directly to nearby pantries. In 2017, Tecumseh Council Boy Scouts collected 54,000 pounds of food. This year we hope to collect 60,000 pounds. We look forward to the community coming together to support the efforts of your local youth during the Scouting For Food campaign. If you have any questions, you can contact the Tecumseh Council Boy Scout Office at 937-325-6449.
