The Friends of Scouting Campaign is an opportunity to educate families of Scouts about the services and financial needs of the Council.
IIn order to provide the best program possible, the Santa Clara County Council provides support to the overall Scouting mission of giving every available youth the opportunity to join the program and enjoy a quality program.
The most effective FOS Campaigns are done with a 5-10 minute presentation at a Pack Meeting (usually the Blue and Gold Banquet for Cub Scout Packs) and the Court-of-Honor for Boy Scout Troops. Presentations are scheduled beginning in January and completed by the end of March. A Unit Presenter will make the presentation with an introduction and endorsement of the Campaign by the Unit Leader.
Units should select a Unit Coordinator to help schedule and provide support-distributing materials the night of the presentation.
Remember, the purpose of the Friends of Scouting Campaign is to educate Scout families and give them an opportunity to invest in a program within which their child is receiving a direct benefit from that will last him a lifetime.
