Scouting for Food

pack996 — Sat, 13 Nov 2021 20:00:00 +0000

Scouting for food is an annual program of the Scouts BSA to support the local food banks by seeking donations from the neighborhood. We posted door hangers on Nov 6 during the Fall Campout event. One week later, on Nov 13 we went around the neighborhood collecting the donations and dropping them off at the collection site in Bishop Ranch. The event was a great success. We had 12 scouts participate in the event. We collected over 100 cans of food and over 50 lb of dry food items like rice, pasta and noodles.

Red Ribbon Week

Every year, Pack 996 partners with Quail Run Elementary to tie up Red Ribbons along the perimeter of the school in commemoration of Red Ribbon Week. When the week is over, we untie the ribbons and also clean up trash around the school. This year, we had a huge storm pass through the Bay Area right when we wanted to tie ribbons! Rather than reschedule, we chose to come prepared for the wet weather in our raincoats, snow jackets, umbrellas, and anything to protect us from gusting winds. We didn’t get to spend as much time as usual on this activity this year, but we still had a blast in the wet weather!

Red Ribbon Week!
