Friends of Scouting Annual Giving Campaign

Investing in the Future of Scouting

The Friends of Scouting (FOS) campaign is an investment beyond national membership fees and basic registration, which cover only a fraction of Scouting’s costs. Without your support, our council’s infrastructure, programs, and volunteer training are at risk, potentially leading to camp closures and fewer opportunities for Scouts.

Your contribution helps to:

  • Keep camp fees affordable for all families
  • Strengthen council infrastructure to support local units
  • Maintain and improve camp properties for outdoor adventures
  • Enhance volunteer training to ensure a high-quality program
  • Fund camperships and Scoutreach, providing opportunities for all youth

Your generosity ensures Scouting remains strong and accessible in our community.
