Notes from Our Key 3 🔑
2025 Friends of Scouting (FOS) - The Home Stretch
Our collective attention to our critical 2025 Friends of Scouting (FOS) campaign has suffered as we’ve focused on establishing RESA. We now need to put in a special effort to reach our 2025 FOS goal, collectively generating another $35,000 in contributions, and finishing strong. We’re asking that every unit do its best to contribute to this goal with everyone doing what they can, whatever the amount. We know that Scouting works best when we all pull together - every family, every unit, and every gift makes an impact.
