Monticello District Units participated in the Annual Scouting for Food Drive in Early November. Packs 36, 77, 206, and 222 along with Troops 37/3711 & 1028/1029 organized neighborhood teams in and around Charlottesville to include: Dunlora, Willoughby, Oakhill, Berkeley, Oakhill Farm, SpringHill Village, Avon Park, Forest Lakes, Redfields, Avinity, Berkeley, Canterbury Hills, Fox Croft, Lake Reynovia, Mill Creek, Mill Creek South, Johnson Village, River Run, Sunset Overlook, Sherwood Manor, Mosby Mountain and Whittington.
All combined these units delivered over 6,150 lbs. of food on Saturday, November 9th to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Even more deliveries were made the following week from additional neighborhood teams!
The fight against hunger continued into other areas as even more food donations were reported by: Pack 79 in Crozet – 772 lbs., Troop 93/193 in Barboursville – 137 lbs., and Pack 12 & Troop 12 – 1700 lbs. for Love Outreach in Orange.

This year, we have so much to be thankful for, and today we want to shine a light on the incredible Scouts and leaders of Troop 79 from Crozet, VA.
In an inspiring act of service, Troop 79 filled their entire camp trailer with warmth—collecting blankets, socks, sleeping bags, and jackets to support families and individuals still impacted by Hurricane Helene. With colder weather settling in, these items are a true gift of compassion and care.
The items were delivered the week of November 18th, in care of @sequoyahcouncil Scout Executive Greg Leitch, just before the snow hit, ensuring warmth and relief arrived in time.
Thank you, Troop 79, for living the Scouting values and making a difference when it’s needed most. You remind us all of the power of service and the warmth of community.
