Investing in the Future of the Northwest
Great futures don’t happen by accident, and they don’t happen without local support. When you give to Friends of Scouting, you are making a direct investment in the future of our region.
By keeping your gift local, you are directly funding the scholarships that send kids to well maintained camps, the training that empowers our unit leaders, and the safety standards that give parents peace of mind. From the urban centers of Portland and Vancouver to the coastal forests and high cascades, your support keeps Scouting accessible, safe, and thriving.
Maintained Camps
Your support funds the essential maintenance and stewardship of local camp properties including Meriwether, Baldwin, and Pioneer. This ensures Scouts have safe, rugged, and inspiring places to test their limits and discover the outdoors.
Safe Scout Systems
Our first priority is the safety and well-being of every youth. Your investment funds specialized safety training which empowers scouts and leaders with the tools to ensure our Council is the gold standard for youth-serving organizations
Financial Assistance
We are committed to making Scouting accessible to all families. Friends of Scouting provides camp scholarships and financial aid to ensure that economic circumstances never prevent a young person from participating in our programs
