2008 Family Campaign
Friends of Scouting
Achievement Recognition Plan
What is Friends of Scouting?
The “Friends of Scouting” (FOS) campaign is the annual fundraising drive to support Scouting in the Illowa Council. A Friends of Scouting family presentation is an opportunity to educate parents on the resources available to them such as our Service center, Scout shop, Camp Loud Thunder, training courses, etc., and learn how Scouting is funded. Presentations are generally held at highly attended meetings like Blue & Gold banquets and Courts of Honor. These gifts account for 20% of the revenues needed to administer the Scouting program in our 13 county area.
