Family FOS

Family Friends of Scouting

Families have a huge challenge in helping their children grow up self-confident with strong moral values.  Our Scout families know the value of Scouting better than anyone and understand the benefits our programs offer to their youth. As a special thank you to those who support Scouting through our Family Friends of Scouting campaign, we have a series of 12 Scout Law patches. This year’s patch is “A Scout is Kind”. Please help us continue to grow Scouting’s impact throughout our community. To schedule your Unit’s presentation, please contact your District Executive.
