Scouting For Food

Scouting For Food is the Greater St. Louis Area Boy Scouts of America’s one-of-a-kind day of service.

Thousands of Scouts, parents, and leaders hit the streets on a Saturday in November to distribute blue bags to the homes in their area. Community members fill up those bags with non-perishable food items, and the Scouts return one week later to pick up those bags and distribute them to local food banks and pantries.
