=Scouting for Food 2009=

Each year before Thanksgiving the Santa Clara County Council of Boy Scouts (our governing district) has a Scouting for Food drive to gather food to feed those who may not be able to feed themselves otherwise.

Cub Scout Pack 492 has participated for many years.

We do this by decorating boxes with food labels and putting one in every classroom at Regnart.

Here is the schedule:

Sunday, November 15, 2:00 pm: Scouting for Food Box decoration, Regnart Elementary

Monday, November 16, start of school: Scouts put boxes into classrooms and give short speech about the program.

Here is a sample of the speech that could be given: ==== //I am a Cub Scout from Pack 492 and we are doing a food drive for Second Harvest foodbank. This is a part of the scouting for fooddrive that scouts do every year. We are looking for donations of canned food like beans, soups, etc. Please do not bring non-canned stuff like cereal, bottled sauces, etc. We will be collecting cans until this Friday in this box. PLEASE donate lots of canned food to this good cause!// ====

Your scout can make their own speech but emphasize scouting, canned food and the deadline of Friday.

Friday, November 20, after school: gather boxes to front of office and put into bags and cars for transportation (need volunteers to drive the food to the gathering places)

Saturday, November 21: food transported to district gathering places by volunteers
