Friends of Scouting
Friends of Scouting are those persons and
entities who
truly care that the Boy Scouts of America has come into their awareness. Think about it, were the Boy Scouts of
America not to exist, where would you now be?
Where would that young man so important to you be? Where would Tulsa be?
Where would America
be without the programs, the facilities, the people of the Boy Scouts
of
America?
What makes a significant difference in the
life of a
young person are the values that form his or her thoughts, words and
deeds. The Boy Scouts of America and its
Venturing arm teach positive values to young people!
If they aren’t presented those values by the
Boy Scouts or a Venture Crew, will they have them to pass on to their
own
children? In our role as parents and
caring adults we seek to ensure that every youth has the chance for a
positive
future. The Friends of Scouting program
is an effort to assure that sufficient funding is available to provide
the
programs, facilities and staff to more than 28,000 Scouts and Venturers
and
more than 6,000 volunteer leaders to attain that positive future. A more significant investment rarely
surfaces! Make a real difference by
helping the young people of Indian Nations Council and its Venturing
Program
through Friends of Scouting!
Please
note that Crews/Posts are being permitted to raise F. O. S.
money in any (legal and ethical) manner they please, so that these are merely
recommendations:
