Build the Future
The Boy Scouts of America’s mission is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lifetime. The French Creek Council has delivered life-changing experiences to thousands of young people for over fifty years. These experiences are based on the values found in the Scout Oath & Law. By financially supporting the French Creek Council’s 2024 “Build the Future” annual Friends of Scouting (FOS) Campaign, you help further Scouting’s mission.
As you can see below, the French Creek Council provides many essential services to our entire Scouting Family. These services support the high-quality Scouting experience expected when a young person enrolls in the program.
State of the Council presentations allow our Scouting families, volunteers and friends to learn about our council and contribute financial resources to deliver Scouting here in Erie, Crawford, Venango, Mercer and Forest counties. Scouting needs your help to “Build the Future”, you can schedule a State of the Council presentation today by counting your District Executive.
The Friends of Scouting Campaign is one of the French Creek Council’s most significant sources of income generated to help support our units deliver a quality program throughout the year. Considering the total expenses in the Council’s operating budget we invest approximately $300 per scout annually to support our area’s units.
The $85 annual youth registration fee goes directly to the national Boy Scouts of America for program development – none of it stays local with the French Creek Council to help pay for any of our council’s operating costs.
Friends of Scouting Gifts of $100 or More
