Friends of Scouting

The Friends of Scouting Campaign is a vital component of the programs and services of the New Birth of Freedom Council. The money raised through Friends of Scouting offsets the cost of training leaders, operating camps, and our service center, as well as providing other resources to Cub Packs and Scout Troops throughout our council.

Sign up for a Friends of Scouting presentation at your unit’s biggest gathering (typically the Blue and Gold Banquet or a Troop Court of Honor) between January and March 31st. The presentation, which takes about 10 minutes to conduct, informs parents and leaders of all council services, its financial needs and extends an opportunity to help fulfill the need.

Please contact Richard Scotti, District Friends of Scouting Chair, at rvscotti73@gmail.com, (717) 816-7454 or Cory Kercher, District Director, at cory.kercher@scouting.org, (717) 590-5454 to schedule your unit’s Friends of Scouting presentation or if you have any questions about the Friends of Scouting Campaign.
