Scouting for Food

Help Fight Hunger in Your Community!

The 2026 Scouting for Food Campaign officially kicks off on April 1st, and we’re counting on YOU to help make an impact.

Did you know more than 42 million Americans face hunger every single day? That’s families, children, seniors, and neighbors right here in our own communities.

We invite every pack, troop, crew, and ship to join us in gathering non-perishable food donations throughout the month of April. The campaign will run the entire month, giving your unit plenty of time to rally your Scouts and your neighborhood.

Let’s continue to show our communities what Scouting is all about: leadership, service, and making a difference. Do a Good Turn Daily!
