The Family Friends of Scouting campaign is conducted each year, as Cub Scout Packs, Scouts BSA Troops and Venturing Crews are scheduled for a short Family Friends of Scouting presentation to be conducted during Blue and Gold Banquets, Troop Courts of Honor etc.

What is Family Friends of Scouting (FOS)? It is the opportunity for parents of Scouts to participate in the Friends of Scouting Campaign. Your Council relies on FOS dollars to stay in operation each year. In fact, FOS provides over 40% of the Council’s operating budget, which is over $600,000.

Family FOS is quite simply, dollars given by parents and leaders of Scouts and Venturers.
