Have you seen a scout volunteer just really do an amazing job?

Have you seen a committee member work really hard to finish a project flawlessly?

Have you noticed a den leader really put their heart and soul into their unit?

Volunteers put countless hours of time, energy, blood, sweat and tears for our program and often do not get recognized for their hard work. Now you can help get these "quiet warriors" recognized for all their hard work! For less than 5 minutes, you can go online and nominate them so they get the appreciation they deserve at an upcoming dinner in early November. And you can submit as many people as you would like, there is no limit! Deadline submissions are September 28th so please start now! You can use the link below to submit your nominations!

Mission Peak District 2023 Friends of Scouting Support
Please consider donating today!
Help Close the Gap
We're still $20,000 short of our goal. Support the scouts in our district and ensure the continuation of the programs and camps your family loves.
|
Understanding Friends of Scouting - Isn't the Annual Council Annual Fee Enough?
|
The straightforward answer: No.
|
The annual fees, while essential, don't cover everything. They're not enough to maintain our programs, provide financial support to underprivileged youth, keep our camps running, manage insurance costs, and, crucially, compensate our dedicated staff. The true expense of offering these services amounts to approximately $300 per youth, a figure that exceeds the $68 Council annual fee. Your contribution to the 2023 Friends of Scouting is what helps bridge this gap.
Supporting the Mission Peak District Goal
|
This year, our target for the Mission Peak District is to raise $55,000 through the Friends of Scouting donations. Here's how you can contribute:
|
- Donate Here: Every dollar plays a part. Consider making a recurring donation – $5, $10, $20, or even $100 per month. Whatever works with your budget is deeply appreciated.
- Unit Base Donations: Offer your support during "Ask Events" within your Packs, Troops, or Ships. If there's no scheduled event, Brian Putt is available to assist.
- Spread the Word: Do you know people passionate about scouting? Share, or a snapshot of the QR code below to introduce them to the Mission Peak Friends of Scouting.
- Matching Donations: Does your employer match your charitable contributions? Let us know! And if you're awaiting a Donation Confirmation letter from the Council, reach out to Fernanda Ruiz
- Engage the Business Community: Do you know small businesses or civic organizations that would financially support our district? Are you a business owner or have a say in charities donations? Contact Brian Putt or Fernanda Ruiz
Thank you for supporting Scouting!
