IMPORTANT CHANGE!!!

The "Scouting for Food" dropoff is at the Hannaford/Middleboro Crossing parking lot - NOT the Parish Hall as was previously posted!

Please note - thank you.

Scouting For Food - Help on Saturday

The food donations that are collected on Saturday for "Scouting for Food" are to be brought to the Parish Hall for sorting and counting, as these totals must be reported to Council.  If anyone is available to help anytime between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM on Saturday (November 2nd), please come to the Parish Hall.  Mr. Cunningham will be there, but he would appreciate any assistance and time the people can give.

Thanks!

Popcorn - Important!

We need a count of which scouts have sold popcorn.  If you have a sheet with orders on it, can you please email Mrs. Wilbur at swilbur34@comcast.net so she has an idea of what the Troop has sold.  Even if you haven't sold any yet, or if you don't plan on having any orders, can you please send her an email so she can get an idea of what stock will be needed.

Thank you!

"Scouting for Food" Door Hanger Dropoff Tomorrow

Tomorrow, October 26th, is the first part of the "Scouting for Food" program.  Please leave the door hangers on as many homes as possible in your area (and note where you leave them, so you remember where to return to on November 2nd!).   Class A uniforms should be worn for both door hanger drop off and donation pickup.

The Sacred Heart Food Pantry has given us a list of suggested items that they are in need of - it may be helpful to either write a few of them as suggestions on the door hangers, or attach a printed list, but please emphasize that all donations are welcomed!   If you have access to a printer, I am attaching the list to make it easier if you want to attach it to the door hangers.

The suggestions are:

Pancake mix

Pancake syrup

Chef Boy R Dee products

Hamburger or Tuna Helper

Any type of dry meals

Microwave meals

Crushed pineapple

Boxed pasta (not spaghetti or elbows)

Ketchup

Ramen noodles

Baked beans

Jello

Let's make this a successful "Scouting for Food" campaign and give back to our town!

Have a nice weekend!

IMPORTANT REMINDERS!

Tomorrow is our first Court of Honor of the 2013 -2014 year.  Scouts should arrive at 6:00 PM for setup.  Parents and other family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.) are welcome to attend this event to see what accomplishments our scouts have achieved in the past few months!

Also, popcorn orders should be brought tomorrow night to have scouts names' entered to win prizes for their sales achievements.  There will be a sign up sheet for anyone for anyone who can volunteer for a "Show and Sell" at Bass Pro Shops in Foxborough on Saturday, November 16th

Hope to see everyone tomorrow night!

Scouting for Food 2013

This year Troop 20 will be participating in the "Scouting for Food" campaign.  The Boy Scouts of America started the Scouting for Food program in 1985, and has collected over 43 million items to supply food banks across America.  The donations that we receive for Troop 20 will be distributed to the St. Vincent dePaul Society, which oversees the food pantry at Sacred Heart Church, our troop's sponsor organization.  It is our hope that we will be able to fill a truck with our donations!

On October 24th (this coming Thursday night), we will have door hangers that explain the collection process available for scouts to take and distribute to as many homes as possible in nearby neighborhoods.  These door hangers will be left at residences on Saturday, October 26th.  The scouts will then return on Saturday, November 2nd to pick up donated items.

For more information on this program, please visit the Scouting for Food/Eastern Massachusetts website: :

SCOUTING FOR FOOD

We would like as many scouts as possible to participate in this program, as it is a great way to make a difference in our local community.  Class A uniforms should be worn for both door hanger drop off and donation pickup.

Don't forget to pick up your door hangers after Court of Honor this Thursday, October 24th!  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask after the Court of Honor.

Thank you!
