Dear Scouting Friend,

A gift to support Scouting may be the most rewarding gift you give this year. The good character that our young people develop through Scouting carry over to every area of their lives as they become adults. This is where your support will go if you make a gift to Scouting during this season of giving. It is our belief that every youth deserves a chance to be a Scout and enjoy the same great, personal rewards that those involved in the program have been so fortunate to realize.

With a little less than a month left in 2013 and earlier this month we marked Giving Tuesday please join us in helping the young people in our communities this holiday season by clicking here. This is truly the gift that keeps on giving as it provides a greater future for our youth and our community. For gifts made online in December we will add a new ornament to our Holiday Display, every dollar raised allows us to continue to serve the youth of the Central Coast.

If you feel strongly about the values provided by the Scouting program, please feel free to share this same email with your friends and family, and ask them to make the same commitment to the youth in the Los Padres Council.

Thank you for your commitment to Scouting.

We wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday Season!
