NOTES AND EXPLANATIONS:

Scouting for Food was done in mid-November from 1988 through 1993 and was changed to Scouting Week (1st week of February) starting in 1994. From 1999 to 2003 the Occoneechee Council stopped promoting Scouting For Food.

Columns with a question mark (?), means that there are no records that can be found for that year.

The last column shows (if the column does not show a year, indicating a detailed report) the position in the Council that our District earned out of all the Council's Districts participating or the amount that the Council collected totally.
