From Megan Valone, Our District Scouting Executive:

Dear Parents and Adult Leaders,

I hope that you and your son are enjoying the Scouting program.

At our Court of Honor on January 31st, a guest will be joining us to deliver our annual Friends of Scouting presentation. This presentation is about asking for your help in financially supporting local Scouting and to highlight some of the great things happening in Scouting around the area. This year’s presentation takes a closer look at what Scouting means to you and how the gifts raised through this campaign are used to deliver Scouting to young people.

Last year, families of Troop 136 contributed 23 gifts that totaled almost $4,000! That is $4,000 that changes the lives of local youth through Scouting. The goal this year is to keep up the great work and increase the number of gifts and amount raised to impact more kids through Scouting programs.

This annual giving campaign is vital to the Simon Kenton Council’s ability to deliver a quality Scouting experience to the next generation of young leaders.  I personally support Friends of Scouting and hope you will consider doing the same. 

Our Friends of Scouting presenter will share more details about the campaign and where your support is directed but please know in advance that you can make a pledge at the presentation and pay it whenever and however you want in 2017.  All Friends of Scouting donations are 100% tax deductible.  Thank you for your generous support and for your continued dedication to the Scouting program.

With Sincere Appreciation,

Megan Valone  |  District Executive
