Scouting for Food is a national Boy Scout community stewardship project aimed at addressing the problem of hunger in communities we live in. Crossroads of America Council participates in this annual spring food collection program with all proceeds staying in central Indiana. Each year Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venturing Crews partner with the Girl Scouts to collect food, supporting families in need. Scouting for Food will collect over 75,000 pounds of food to support needy families in central Indiana each year. Data show that 1 out of 8 Hoosiers live in poverty! Let’s give them a can of hope - a can of life!! This is an annual service project in the council to do our "Good Turn".

"If you can't feed a hundred people, then just feed one." Mother Theresa
"We can feed a hundred people, so let's get busy!!!" Ed Richard

Participation in Scouting for Food counts towards service hours. It takes a Village!!!!
