2023 Friends of Scouting Donation
![](https://scoutingevent.com/attachment/BSA533/MD_image_16421285880_9566.png)
The Friends of Scouting campaign keeps Scouting an affordable, effective youth development program. It funds the Susquehanna Council's infrastructure, or general operating portion of the budget, and provides a support system for the 600 volunteers and 1,200 youth learning and growing through Scouting.
Friends of Scouting is an annual direct-solicitation campaign reaching out to Scout families, service organizations, and businesses and is the largest source of income for the Susquehanna Council. To the Council, a 501(c) 3 charitable organization, it costs more than $300 per year to provide quality programming for each Scout.
By donating right now online, you can choose a level of giving comfortable to you. Or if you'd like to set up a monthly automatic donation from a checking account, a popular option, please email or call Cecelia Joyce in the Council Service Center, cecelia.joyce@scouting.org or 570-326-5121 ext. 106.
