Since 1988 the Scouts of the Narragansett Council have helped feed families in need by collecting nearly 10 million pounds of food! The yearly Good Turn is the area's most impactful food drive and the largest annual Scout service project.
Many organizations have faced challenges this last few years, including the Rhode Island Community Food Bank and local food banks. These food banks rely on volunteer support and in-person donations to help feed families in need.

The ongoing COVID-19 health crisis has increased the demand for food in our area by 50%. This year, more than ever, our neighbors need our help. We ask that every Pack, Troop, Team, and Crew take part in the 2021 Scouting For Food Drive. By participating in this Scouting for Food Good Turn, together, we in the Narragansett Council can show our communities and our Scouts that we haven’t forgotten the principals that have made the Boy Scouts of America strong.
Visit ScoutingForFood.org to learn about other ways you can support this year's food drive.
