About Friends of Scouting

When you support our Friends of Scouting Campaign, you’re doing more than making a donation… you’re helping create life-changing opportunities for youth.

Your support helps provide camperships for Scouts who otherwise couldn’t attend camp, training for youth and adult leaders, safe and well-staffed camps, background checks and safeguarding youth programs, and hands-on experiences like merit badges and career exploration.

As a thank-you for investing in the future of Scouting, donors will receive exclusive Friends of Scouting incentives, including decals, patches, and special collector items depending on their pledge level.

Every contribution helps strengthen the Scouting experience for thousands of young people. Join us in “Building the Future!”

How We Invest In Youth

How We Are Funded

Scouting doesn’t eliminate obstacles in life, but it teaches young individuals to confront challenges, handle risks, and overcome barriers. This helps them develop strength, resilience, and wisdom as they grow up. In today’s world, the youth require Scouting, and Scouting needs your support. So, let’s prioritize what matters – building the future.
