 Thank you Pack 7 for participating in this year's annual Scouting for Food Community Service campaign on the two Saturdays in November. In total Scouts and adult volunteers distributed about 44,000 doorhangers around neighborhoods in eastern Marin on November 8, then returned on November 11 to collect over 45,000 lbs of food donations (a nearly 40% increase over last year). This highly visible public project is an enormous benefit to the SF-Marin Food Bank helping to alleviate food insecurity in their community beneficiaries during the holiday season.
 Saturday, February 14 - Cub Scout "Champ Camp" Pinewood Derby Workshop Day  A message from Marin Council.... While we were able to re-open Iron Springs Road this Spring and regain easy vehicle access to Tamarancho, we needed to significantly cut into Council reserves to make this happen. Coupled with the many ongoing repairs at both camp properties and the increased operating costs across the board has made it difficult to maintain a solid financial footing for the Council. To correct this situation and regain our balance, we need your help! Your donation to the Marin Council will stay local and supports both our camps as well as our annual operating budget which funds everything from insurance, staff support, camperships, Scouting for Food printing, recruitment materials, national technology licenses, and so much more. Please consider joining in support of Scouting in Marin and becoming a Friend of Scouting through your tax-deductible donation. We’d ask families to consider a gift of $250 annually but recognize some can give more and some might give less. Regardless, every gift makes a difference!
