Greetings from your Tohickon District fundraising group known as "SOS"...Support Our Scouts!
We are having our sixth annual event this year at Bishop's Winery on May 20, 6-9pm, honoring long time Scouter, Skip Davenport. Join us for an evening of socializing, great music, and friendship.
As volunteers, we are raising support for our Council program. We ask units to help by reaching out to local businesses as sponsors. When asking for support, be sure to mention the role our Scouts play within our community.
As a "thank you", Units who have businesses sign on as a sponsor will be the beneficiary of Tom's "dough making". What does that mean? So glad you asked! A fundraiser bake sale will be held and proceeds will go to the Unit.
Contact Tom Martin with any questions.
