Providing service is a key component of Scouting. Troop 17 takes the time to help our community
whenever we can. This can be helping
with trash pickup at a park or other community location, helping our chartered
organization put up decorations for the holidays, helping repaint a fence for a
community organization, engaging in an improvement project at a Scout camp, performing a flag ceremony at a school or event, or assisting a Cub Scout unit is putting on an event.
In addition to the many service projects the
Troop takes part of throughout the year, Troop 17 participates in Scouting For
Food the first week of February each year.
Scouting For Food is a national
service project coordinated by Scouting America where each unit participating puts
out collection flyers, and then returns later to revisit those houses and
collect bags of food for those in need.
Troop 17 collects food in the Ahwatukee area alongside Pack 178 and Troop 48 with the food collected being donated to a local area
food bank, helping those closest to the Troop’s community. The units have
managed to collect 3,000 pounds or more of food to donate during our annual
Scouting for Food collection
