Tomorrow morning, 11/8, we will meet in the parking lot at the Borough of Red Hill municipal building.
We will walk door to door through Red Hill, hanging door tags, like in the picture at the bottom of this email. These hang tags provide instructions regarding what type of food items are needed and when to place donations out so they can be picked up.
The help of all cub scouts and parents is greatly appreciated, this activity is appropriate for all ages.
Time: 9am
Dress: Wear cub scout attire, be prepared with hats, gloves, and jackets as it is supposed to be windy and cool.
Address: 56 W 4th St, Red Hill, PA 18076
Not available in the morning, but could help in the afternoon tomorrow? Send me an email or text and I’ll get things coordinated.
Meeting Location: Red Hill Municipal Building ( 56 W 4th St, Red Hill, PA 18076 )

Where does the food go?
All food donations are collected, sorted, and brought to the Open Link to feed the communities of the Upper Perkiomen Valley. Learn more about the Open Link on their website at: The Open Link
How can I donate?
Look for a hangtag on your door, the various Cub Scout Packs and Scout Troops of the valley will distribute them around the local area, covering Red Hill, Pennsburg, East Greenville, Palm, and more. If you live in an area that we don’t cover, we will post additional locations where you can drop off food during the week between November 8 and 15.
Students and Staff of Marlborough elementary can donate at school where Pack 170 will sponsor a Pizza Party for the class that collects the most items. A big thank you to the Marlborough community for all of their support.

Given the expected low temperatures, with real feel near freezing, we have decided to do dinner, campfire, and skits after Fall Fest, there will be no overnight camping.

Fall Fest takes place at Musser Scout Reservation, the same place we go for BBs and Archery. First year scouts are free of charge, youth 5 and over are $30, children 3 – 5 are $15, and adults are $10. We are trying to organize a group to go before our camping trip on November 1st.
Bring a flashlight, water bottle, and dress warmly, it will cool down quickly after dark. There will be plenty of seating, so no need to bring your own.
