emb021 16 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 "I'd always thought, somewhere in the recesses of my mind, that Scouting for Food was supposed to be a national thing - you know, hundreds of thousands of Scouts from across the country handing out bags and collecting food on the exact same days. Can anyone recall if that was ever part of the program, or did I just make that up? " Not sure what you mean by 'part of the program', but when it first started, it was a National Service Project. It was part of National's '5 unacceptables' or the like. It was a big national drive for several years, and only stopped being a national thing. Councils were, of course, free to continue to do "scouting for food" and MANY councils still do it! Link to post Share on other sites
John-in-KC 311 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks for the backstory. Unfortunately, more than a few Councils (such as mine and Lisa's) dropped SFF as the signature project and just let units do Good Turns for America. Sigh. Link to post Share on other sites
