Support Our Scouts 

Scouting For Food, organized by the Conquistador Council, is a unique month-long community service initiative. Hundreds of Scouts, along with their parents and leaders, come together to collect and donate hundreds of pounds of food to local Southeast New Mexico food pantries. Businesses can support the Scouts' efforts by serving as a food donation drop-off location.

WHEN

Saturday, November 16, 2024- Hang Tag Distribution Day 
Saturday, November 23, 2024 - Food Collection Day

HOW

The distribution and collection occur on a district-by-district basis. Various units such as packs, troops, teams, crews, and posts are assigned specific geographic areas for distribution and collection.

​

Units are responsible for delivering the collected food to designated collection sites, including council properties or food pantries. A team of volunteers will manage the transportation of the collected food to the Southeast New Mexico Area foodbank and local shelters. 

SEEKING BUSINESS SUPPORT

Businesses can register to support the Scouting For Food program. They are encouraged to collect food until November 18, following which the Scouts will arrange to pick up the donations and deliver them to a local food pantry. 

DIDN'T GET A HANG TAG?

For those who may have missed receiving a hang tag, additional drop-off locations will be announced as more businesses participate in the collections. 

​

DROP OFF LOCATIONS

During the food drive multiple drop-off locations will be available for those wishing to make food donations as part of the Scouting For Food drive.
