One in nine New Jersey households, or nearly 750,000 people, are food insecure. 300,000 are children. Scouting for Food is one of the nation’s largest food drives that Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Sea Scouts, Venturing Crews and Exploring Posts participate in to support their local food pantries and hunger-relief agencies. The Patriots’ Path Council of the Boy Scouts of America is partnering with six regional food hubs (in Morris, Middlesex, Somerset, Sussex and Union counties) to off­er an opportunity for your troop to fight hunger while learning about the issue of food insecurity in our neighborhoods.

Check out the Council Community Service website for more information on the partnerships and a Scouting For Food Hang Tag Template for your drive.
