Operation Full Bellies

Helping paws in need, one full bowl at a time.

The Operation Full Bellies Patch encourages scouts to take action for animals in need by supporting shelters through food donations, simple service projects, and acts of kindness. Part of the Project Paw-sitivity series, this patch celebrates empathy, teamwork, and learning how small efforts can make a big difference for pets waiting for their forever homes.

Designed for service-focused meetings, this patch works beautifully for food drives, donation collections, and hands-on activities that help scouts understand the needs of shelter animals. It offers a meaningful way for scouts to give back while building compassion and responsibility.

Whether your scouts are collecting pet food, learning how shelters care for animals, or creating simple treats with guidance, this patch honors generosity, teamwork, and care for our four-legged friends.
