Friends of Scouting
Friends of Scouting is the annual fund raising drive directed toward scouting families and volunteers. The drive identifies the cost to keep one boy in Scouting for one year and marks this as the "One Scout" level donations. Donations a this level are requested from those able to afford it. In 2008, this amount was $135 and donations of this amount are rewarded with a special council patch for that year.
Scout families and their friends dig deep for the generous FOS donations that fund the Scouting program. Making sure they understand the importance of their financial support and what it means to the Scouts in the program is vital. These two documents to help folks understand just what a donation to FOS means.
- The FOS Pamphlet is the primary information document and is used by donors to submit donations.
- The FOS Information sheet sheds more light on what FOS donations accomplish.
