Your unit should work its assigned territory only.

On boundary streets, collect on your side of the street only (unless given other instructions).

Skip apartment units with controlled access and "No Solicitation" rules (unless previous arrangements have been made).

Do not solicit from grocery stores or other commercial establishments.

Collection bags, with instructions to the householder, should be distributed door-to-door on Bag Distribution Day beginning at 9 a.m.

When distributing bags, place them in or on the door. Do not put them in mailboxes. It is unlawful to do so. If you can, place them over the doorknob.

Food must be collected on Bag Collection Day beginning at 10 a.m. from the same area where you distributed bags.

Food should be turned in to your district collection station(s).

Collection stations will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be supervised by Scouting personnel.

When collecting donations on Bag Collection Day, if nothing is on the doorstep or porch, ask your boys to knock on the door to see if the householder has a donation.

Make a follow-up "run-through" in your area after noon to pick up late donations.

Be certain boys are in full uniform, travel in groups of two or more and are adequately supervised. This is especially true for Cub Scouts.

If you have any questions, call your district Scouting For Food headquarters.

The Greater St. Louis Area Council will maintain a Scouting for Food headquarters on both days at the MacArthur Boy Scout Service Center. The phone number is 314-361-0600 or 800-392-0895. In addition, each district will maintain a district Scouting For Food headquarters.
