Scouting for Food is one of the biggest community projects that youths participate in as Scouts. It is an amazing opportunity for them to gain leadership skills and, more importantly, give back to their community. Sometimes, Scouts are even recognized for their hard work and dedication to helping the community.
Troop 1321 from La Plata, Maryland, went above and beyond for Scouting for Food 2024, and The Baynet | Southern Maryland News acknowledged their efforts!
Along with the normal Scouting for Food Campaign at the beginning of November, Troop 1321 held its annual Thanksgiving Food Drive at Safeway on November 24th, 2024, and collected 1,337 pounds of food!

Troop 1321 wasn’t the only unit to get recognition, as a Troop from the Potomac District also received an appreciation letter attached to a bag collected on November 9th, 2024. As mentioned in the letter, Scouting for Food is not only a way for Scouts to give back to their community but also allows others “the opportunity to contribute and be a part of this valuable endeavor.”
