INVEST IN CHARACTER
Anyone can talk about making a difference in the lives of young people - but Scouting puts words into action.
The cost to support the year-round Scouting program is $360 per year, per Scout. We respectfully ask you to consider donating $360 a year ($30 a month) to support costs associated with each Scout and Scouting family.
