Community Service is a big part of scouting. We are all so generous during the holiday seasons, but for many people hunger is a daily problem. Food pantries are in desperate need of supplies during the summer months.

Please consider joining us on Sunday, July 21st at Stop and Shop of Morris Plains to collect food and supplies for the Parsippany Food Pantry. We are in need of six (6) scouts and two (2) adults per hour.  

To sign up/RSVP, please confirm your time slot on our SignUp Genius. Please note we are also looking for a few scouts to help with delivering the food to the Parsippany Food Pantry on Monday, July 22nd.  

Let's do what we can to help a family in need this summer!

If you have any questions, please reach us via email [email protected] or phone 570-212-2036.

 Thank you for helping us support our community!

Hi all – We had a small technical glitch and needed to reset the TroopTrack RSVP's for the Summer Pool Party.  For those who have already registered before Sunday evening, could you please re-register so we have an accurate count?  Sorry for the inconvenience but we are looking forward to a fun afternoon at the pool!   

The Sign-Up genius is working fine, so no need to re-check that if you have already signed up to bring something.

Thanks,

Steve
