A very special project for supporting Goodwill Industries.  The Pack will pick up bags at February roundtables and deliver them door to door in assigned neighborhoods.  The bags are picked up by the same den the first Saturday in March and delivered to various drop off locations in each district.  Gathered goods support Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette.  Youth earn a segment for participation.  This is the largest drive of its kind in the nation.
