Scouts Help Local Families:

Rib Mountain District Scouting (Wausau Area) raised 17,534 pounds of food with 16,830 items at a value of $23,670.70.

Over 850 Rib Mountain District Scouts and Scouters put out Scouting For Food Bags (donated by Trig’s Grocery Store) and collected the food.

Scouts and Scouters also sorted food at some Food Pantries.

The food drive for Rib Mountain District assisted 11 Local Food Pantries and 16 food barrels were placed at local grocery stores and churches.

This surpassed our Scouting For Food record from 2012 by close to a thousand pounds.

Thanks to everyone who made a difference by serving the Community and our Local Neighbors! Scouting and Scouting Families care about Others and Serve their Communities!

Thank You!
