The Scout Oath states, “To help other people at all times.” Scouting For Food is a Council-wide initiative to help combat hunger in our community. Food insecurity affects millions of families every year; this past year COVID-19 added an extra struggle. No one should ever go hungry, and the reality is, more families are having a tough time feeding their family because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Baltimore Area Council is committed to helping those in need…but we need your help!
