Don't miss this one!!

SCOUTING FOR FOOD 2011: In February of the last eight years (2003-2010), Thunderbird District Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, and Varsity Crews collected food and other non-perishable supplies to donate to local food pantries. We invite all Thunderbird District Packs, Troops, and Crews to participate in Scouting for Food 2011. Half of the District’s units participated in 2010 – can we exceed that this year? If your unit is interested or you have questions, please contact me doyle-bsa@att.net. Thanks! Kevin Doyle
