Pack 7 traditions · November 2026
Scouting for Food
Two weekends. One community effort. Join Pack 7 in collecting food for our neighbors through the SF-Marin Food Bank.
Helping our neighbors
Each year, Pack 7 joins scouts across San Francisco and Marin to collect donations for the SF-Marin Food Bank, helping neighbors facing hunger. Scouts and their families distribute door hangers, collect food, and deliver it to the food bank.
Giving back is a core Scout value. This annual service project puts it into practice: caring for our community and seeing what we can accomplish together.
Milestones & dates
02 · November 7–8
Distribute hangers
Walk your route anytime November 7–8. Leave a hanger on each home’s doorknob or gate handle—no need to knock on doors.
03 · November 14 · By 11am
Collect food
Drive the same route with your scout on Saturday morning to collect food. Return all donations to Kyle’s house by 11am.
Choose any time during November 7–8 to deliver hangers—not a full-weekend commitment.

One route, two visits
Use the map to plan your route and the signup sheet to claim it. Return to the same homes on collection day so everyone who received a hanger has their donation picked up.
Pickup & drop-off
Pick up the number of door hangers listed for your route from the box outside Kyle’s house, available starting October 30 at 8am. Return collected food there on November 14 by 11am. Check the event’s WhatsApp group for the address and pickup details.
Bring a car on collection day
On November 14, have an adult drive and leave room in the car for donations. Stop safely along the route to collect food with your scout.

How should we distribute the door hangers?
No need to knock on doors. Just hang a door hanger on the best doorknob or gate handle for each house along your route.
Can we share a route with another family?
Yes—sign up together and agree on who will cover each visit. Both visits should cover the full route.
What if we can’t do both weekends?
Team up with another family who can cover the other visit, or ask Kyle for help coordinating before you claim a route.
Where do we pick up hangers and return food?
At Kyle’s house; check the event’s WhatsApp group for details. Return food by 11am on November 14.
What if we’re running late or can’t finish our route?
Message Cubmaster Kyle in WhatsApp as soon as possible so we can arrange help and avoid missing donations.
Where can we ask questions?
Ask in the “Scouting for Food 2026” WhatsApp group for participating families.
