About duty2others On June 17th, 2010, the Mecklenburg County Boy Scouts and Hornet's Nest Girl Scouts are partnering with Million Meal Mission, Samaritan International, Harrison United Methodist Church, and Feed My Starving Children to help prepare 1,000,000 meals for children in the Philippines, Haiti, and more than 60 other countries around the world.
This amazing service event, recently featured in the Charlotte Observer, has a dedicated Scouting Day that will take place Thursday, June 17th at Harrison United Methodist Church in Pineville, NC. You and your group can select a two hour shift at 12, 3, or 6pm.
This event is open to all Daisies, Brownies, Girl Scouts (Juniors, Cadets, Seniors), Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers and all Scouting families from Kindergarten to Great Grand Parents.
You can help by mobilizing your Troop, Pack, Crew, or Families to come and fill a 2 hour slot and preparing meals for those beyond our borders in need.

Thank You and Next Steps
Everyone:
Just a quick update on the Million Meal Mission. First, we would like to express our thanks and appreciation for all who signed up and participated in this event. Even though we had a lower than anticipated turn out by Scouts on Thursday, Harrison UMC was able to exceed their goal of 350,000 meals. That, in addition to the over 350,000 meals packed last week, puts them well on our way to reaching the million meal goal.
Next week’s packing event at the Oasis Shriner’s Temple in north Charlotte has a lot of openings — so if anyone is available, please sign up at www.millionmealmission.org for one of the shifts between next Tuesday and Friday. We’d love to see a great turnout of Scouts there to participate in this Duty to Others event.
