BSA National Pike District

The Friends of Scouting campaign is conducted annually among the parents of Scouts amd volunteer leaders. Families are the ones who see firsthand the benefit of Scouting for their child. District and unit volunteers conduct the campaign in order to give all Scout families the opportunity to support the Scouting program.

Recognition Plan
By offering desirable recognition, we can continue to raise more money each year. The key concepts are to set the desired level of giving, present immediate recognition and let others know how to receive the same recognition.

Recognition Levels

•   For gifts of $150 and above, donors will receive a Commemorative patch
•   For gifts of $250 and above, donors will receive a Friends of Scouting hat
•   For gifts of $500 and above, donors will receive a Friends of Scouting polo shirt
•   For gifts of $1,000 and above, donors will receive a Friends of Scouting jacket

During the 2007-2008 Family Friends of Scouting campaign, every family investing $150.00 or more will receive a limited edition patch. This is a regulation council shoulder patch (CSP) and may be worn on the left shoulder of the BSA uniform.

Don't forget that many companies "match" their employee's donation. To see an initial list of companies known to have this policy click here or check with your human resources department for the appropriate paperwork.
