2018 FOS 
AND WHY

 

The annual Family Friends of Scouting (FOS) Campaign provides an informed opportunity for all
parents, leaders, chartered organizations, community members and alumni to help provide the
financial support needed to deliver local Scouting's character-building programs. Rather than
charging the actual cost of Scouting when new members join, we collect only the National BSA
registration fee, which we forward to our National Office.

SCOUTING ACCESSIBLE 
TO FAMILIES

By: Randall Stephenson, National President 
Charles Dahlquist, National Commissioner 
Mike Surbaugh, Chief Scout Executive

 
 
This is an exciting and important time for the BSA. Our recent historic decision to serve families by inviting girls to Cub Scouts and delivering a program that will enable them to earn the rank of Eagle Scout sustains our mission of preparing more young people to live the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

YEAR-END FOS GIVING HELPS  OUR COUNCIL TO REACH BUDGET OBJECTIVES

 

As we balance our budget at year-end, unexpected FOS donations are always a blessing. Shown here is HomeStreet Bank's Ryan Walrod presenting a $500 check to Scout Executive Duane Rhodes.

NEW FRIENDS OF SCOUTING (FOS) GIVING METHOD 
FOR 2018



For the 2018 FOS Campaign, we are utilizing a new Text-To-Give program to increase flexibility for the many thousands of Scouters and friends who support us financially.  Council Marketing Committee Robert Moore introduced us to this MobileCause giving option and he has helped us to move forward with a program that's used successfully by many other councils across the country.


2017 SCOUT POPCORN SALE
