What is friends of Scouting?

What does it mean to be a friend of Scouting?

Why should you consider becoming a friend of Scouting?

First, the basics: Friends of Scouting is the council’s annual giving campaign. Friends of Scouting (or FOS) represents the council’s largest source of income.

The Friends of Scouting campaign begins in the fall for some, and ends in June. During the campaign, you will be visited at your pack meeting or troop Court of Honor. An explanation of the campaign and an appeal for your support will be made. You’ll be asked to make a tax-deductible pledge to the local council.

EMPLOYEE MATCH PROGRAMS

Some companies, possibly including the one for which you work, will match their employees’ charitable contributions. Be sure to see whether your workplace has such a program. If so, you’ll DOUBLE your impact. Contact your company TODAY and see if this great program is available.

*Disclaimer: All giving will stay with the Desoto Area Council and not will not be used by National for other activities.
