Our goal for the 2024 Friends of Scouting program is to ensure every scout and their family has the opportunity to contribute to the campaign to support Scouting. To motivate the units, the council will reward those units that achieve their predetermined FOS fundraising goals with free rank advancement patches from the GGAC scout shop for the year 2024. The financial goals are tailored to each unit, based on your registration numbers as of February 2024 and your historical contributions. I am happy to share these specific goals with you, either during our presentation or beforehand. Additionally, there are more benefits and rewards to look forward to.
We are inviting each unit to schedule a presentation at their convenience, whether it be in February, March, April, or later in the year. The sooner you achieve your FOS goal the sooner you can claim your patches. Please take a moment to review your unit’s calendar and provide us with a suitable date, time, and contact person. You can submit this information through the Google Form linked below. Your participation is invaluable, and we look forward to your support in making the 2024 Friends of Scouting program a success.
If you would like to discuss ahead of time, please reach out to me. Prior to the presentation we will send you a PPT file to share with all the parents. This can include your Goal for the unit.
Thank you for your early response. You will probably also receive a call from Fernanda Ruiz or Don Uriu asking about the date. But if you respond to the Google Form, it will make everything much more efficient. We really appreciate your support to the Friends of Scouting Campaign.
Yours In Scouting
