Friends of Scouting Campaign
The Friends of Scouting Campaign is the Council’s single largest source of funding, accounting for 25% of our funding each year. Parents, volunteers, friends, and businesses contribute to help provide local programs and activities throughout the Council territory. Donating to the Friends of Scouting campaign ensure high-quality Scouting programs for every youth.
An investment in Friends of Scouting helps to fund:
- Local programs and activities throughout the Council territory
- Camp scholarships, uniforms and fees for youth who could otherwise not participate
- The Scout Service Center, which coordinates Scouting activities and provides customer service
- Accident and liability insurance to protect youth and adult members
- Professional staff who counsel, guide and inspire volunteer leadership
- Camps and facilities for year-round camping and Cub Scout family outdoor events
- Opportunities to attend summer camp and high-adventure events
- Advancement programs that recognize Scouts meeting the goals they set
- Development and distribution literature and training materials
- Leadership training for youth who will become future community leaders
