Support Scouting

Growing up has never been easy. Each generation faces its own concerns and pressures. For the past 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has provided young people with experiences that prepare them to meet challenges and conquer them.  Character, self-reliance, responsibility and leadership – Scouting provides activities that are in sync with the interests of today’s youth, but instill these timeless values.  Scouting makes a direct and positive impact on your community by teaching positive values and leadership skills to youth.  Join the individuals, corporations, and foundations who support Scouting's mission.

Direct contributions from scouting supporters like you through the council's Friends of Scouting campaign make up over 40% of Yocona Area Council's income.  Download the 2009 Friends of Scouting Brochure for more information.

Donate Your Time - Another great way to help the Boy Scouts is to dontate your time.
