Flyer Distribution

Donation Collections

Every Year Pack 1863 is a proud supporter of Scouting for Food.  This event happens the first two Saturdays in November.  We join other local Packs, Girl Scout Troops and Boy Scout Troops to collect donated food and necessities from our Greenbriar neighbors to help our community. 

We meet at GBE.  Please sign in when you arrive and join your Den.  The first Saturday we will be distributing the flyers, returning to collect donations on the following Saturday.  This is a great opportunity for the boys to give back to their larger community and help our neighbors.  Pack 1863 Cub Scouts will earn a Community Service Patch for this event.

Scouting for Food

Our mission is to collect non-perishable food items on behalf of Western Fairfax Christian Ministries Food Pantry (WFCM), which provides assistance to families right here in our community, regardless of religion.  The food we collect will fill the food pantry shelves for 5-6 months.
