Scouting For Food Routes

Back to SFF Information Page

The Table of Routes below lists all Scouting for Food routes and which Pack or Troop is responsible for each of them. Click on the Route # link to find out exactly what houses are in a particular route. Each downloadable (pdf) route page includes: (1) a listing of the specific houses by street address, (2) locations of those houses (with respect to cross streets) and (3) an appropriate section of the Wellesley zoning map with each house on the route labeled. A full map of the town of Wellesley with all the routes labeled is also available.

Notes:

1. These routes encompass single family residences only, not apartments, condos, or commercial properties.

2. Scouts should not enter dwellings to leave a bag or pick up food.

3. About 7500 houses are eligible to be "scouted" for food. Routes include roughly 20 houses - more if the houses are close together and fewer if farther apart. In general, no Scout should have to cross a busy road.

4. Some route pages have addresses with "NB" listed next to them. These are properties that do not currently have buildings on them according to the 2010 Assessor's List of Single Family Residences and so are not explicitly included in the route. However, if any of these "NB" addresses are occupied (e.g., a house was under construction in 2011 but people have since moved in), please plan to collect food from that address.

5. Don't forget to pick up food from every house at which a bag is left.

6. Although the maps are in color, you can be green and print them out in black and white - they should be perfectly readable.
7. If you have trouble downloading route maps (Mac users especially), try downloading the latest (free) version of Adobe Reader here
