Friends of Scouting
Friends of Scouting is an important part of your unit. It pays for
training for you as leaders, program materials for Roundtables, staff to put
things together like fliers for your unit. Also, there are two
opportunities to bring the money that Friends of Scouting raises right back to
your unit through the Quality Unit Plus Award and the Friends of Scouting
Award. For information on these two awards, contact Ted Olsen at
tol...@bsamail.org.We have until May 27
to reach our goal of $52,250. Thus far, we have raised all but
$11,500. Your commitment to Friends of Scouting is important!
