Family FOS
News!
It's time to schedule your annual Friends of Scouting presentation.  The best time for packs is at the Blue and Gold Banquet and for troops at their winter Court of Honor.  Please contact your District Fundraising Chair or District Executive.

Who pays for Scouting?  As parents and volunteers, we all know the answer to this question: We do, along with our Scout sons. This is by design.  A Scout who helps pay for his Scouting adventure, learns the very important value of self-reliance and 'paying his own way in life'.  

To help keep the cost of Scouting affordable for all boys, our Scout Council provides many services including Camp Alaflo maintenance, program equipment and supplies.  Again this year, we will conduct the Family Friends of Scouting campaign to raise the funds needed to provide maintenance at Camp Alaflo.
