> Good morning. Per GSLAC guidance below, the scouts will NOT, I repeat NOT be distributing bags tomorrow morning like we normally do. This was a last minute decision by council due to the latest outbreak of COVID 19. However, we still plan on camping this weekend. It’s a small group, we will be outside and following all of the safety protocols.

After careful consideration of the rapidly rising COVID-19 cases, and to ensure alignment with the rapidly changing guidelines from health departments and political leaders, the leadership of the Greater St. Louis Area Council has made the decision to modify our Scouting for Food drive.
