Do's
Do's
A parent should accompany the Scout during this activity.
Scouts must wear their class A uniforms.
It's ok to just leave the door hanger and quietly walk away. If the homeowner is out in front or comes out, your Scout should introduce themself, let them know they’re from Cub Scout Pack 508 of Saratoga, and that they would like to leave some information about donating food.
Skip apartment buildings (our routes shouldn’t contain any).
Stick to your route for both dropping off and picking up food.
Scouts are responsible for picking up food at any house where they leave a door hanger. If something happens where a Scout can’t pick up, please message the Scouting For Food WhatsApp group.
Don'ts
Don'ts
Don’t approach homes with “do not enter” or “no soliciting” signs.
Don't walk on people’s lawns or plants. Stay on the paths.
