Welcome to the El Camino Real District
Serving the vibrant communities of the San Gabriel Valley, including Alhambra, Monterey Park, El Monte, South El Monte, Rosemead, San Gabriel, South San Gabriel, Avocado Heights, Valinda, City of Industry, Hacienda Heights, South San Jose Hills, Rowland Heights, La Puente, Walnut, West Covina, Diamond Bar, and Pomona, the San Gabriel Valley District is committed to fostering the growth and development of our young Scouts.
At the core of our mission is the vision of equipping these Scouts with essential skills and values, enabling them to seamlessly integrate into our communities as compassionate citizens and future leaders. Through the collaborative efforts of our dedicated Scouts, leaders, volunteers, and caretakers, we endeavor to create a united front that guides our society toward a resilient and prosperous future.
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.
