Scouting for Food

Saturday, February 20, 2009
Food Collection:
9:30 am - 2:00 pm
Food Drop Off:
Plano - Tom Thumb
(Parker and Tollway)

Meet at Barksdale at 9:30 am to be assigned maps to your collection areas. Team up with a buddy to collect food. Once you have completed collecting in your area, proceed to the Tom Thumb drop off location to turn in your canned goods!
Please try to COUNT your food before you bring it to a PLANO Tom Thumb collection center. Write Pack #179, your Den # and your total on an index card and hand it to the troop working the collection center.

Please email Poornima Poondi at serviceproject@planopack179.com with the count of the cans being dropped off

Bring collected items to Tom Thumb Collection Centers. All centers are open until 2 p.m., possibly later. If you cannot drop it off before 2 pm at the Tom Thumb Boy Scout collection centers, plan on taking it directly to the Food Pantry. CALL them BEFORE heading out. Food Pantry Numbers 214.704.5689 or 972.424.4574. The Food Pantry is normally open only on Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings but if you call them, they are very happy to make other arrangements. The Plano Food Pantry is located at 18th Street west of Jupiter next to Holy Nativity Episcopal Church.
FYI - The Tom Thumb Collection Centers at Parker & Independence or Park and Preston typically stay open later.

Welcome Home a Hero

Every day, more than 100 soldiers come through DFW Airport on their way home for two weeks of much anticipated rest and recuperation. Your Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers can help welcome these heroes home!

Pack 179 has been invited to join the Junior League of Plano's Family Project which will be Welcoming Home a Hero on Saturday, December 5th. Please encourage your scouts to make signs and bring flags with them to this event. As always, a Class A Uniform is requested to be worn. I will send out emails via scout track the night before with any available flight information. Please feel free to call the number below to check on the arrival time prior to your departure for the airport.

Every day the flight lands at approximately 10 a.m. to noon. Just call 972-574-0392 the morning of your visit to confirm the Terminal, gate and approximate landing time. Welcome Home a Hero Brochure details

What a way
to sell!!



The Great Plains District (our district) was the number one Council in Popcorn sales again, topping last years sales by $7,000. We are very proud of our Pack 179. We were 4th in the Council, and when you add in the sales of all the Boy Scout Troops, we only dropped one notch to 5th. Quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!
