Scouting for Food

The Time to “Do a Good Turn” Will Be:

Bag Drop-off – October 18, 2025
Food Collection – October 25, 2025

Scouting for Food has been a Scouting tradition in Bay-Lakes Council for 36 years. This important community service event helps make a healthy difference for those in need! As you already know, the need for food is in high demand right now, and we have found many of the food banks and pantries we partner with really do need our help.

Scouts were asked to share the Scouting for Food Drive plan by distributing food collection bags throughout their communities by October 15th and then return to pick up food donations the morning of October 25th. Collected donations will then be taken to a local food bank or pantry.

Now is the time to join Boy Scouts of America, as they deliver on Scouting’s “Good Turn” motto, by participating in the annual campaign in Eastern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Thank you for your support!

If you do not receive a food collection bag on October 15, or your donation is not picked up on Saturday, October 15, 2025, please help out by taking your goods to your local Festival Foods store or to your local food pantry.

Scouts do their best to cover their local areas, but sometimes a donation may be missed.

Contact Chris.Weber@scouting.org or call (920) 973-0946 if you have any questions.
