Friends Of Scouting
There are so many ways you can support Scouting in the Carolina Lowcountry—attend the annual fundraising event, buy popcorn, play in the golf tournament, etc. But the number one way we fund the programs we offer is when you make your pledge to support the Friends of Scouting campaign.
You know the value of this program! Speak to your friends and business acquaintances about the importance of Scouting to the youth of the Carolina Lowcountry and urge them to support our programs with a financial gift, matching gift, or grant and foundation information.
Thank you for all that YOU do for Scouting!
2024 Goal - $345,000

'Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.'
James E. West was appointed to the position of Chief Scout Executive in 1910 by the founding leadership of Scouting in America. West worked with Sir Robert Baden-Powell, Daniel Carter Beard, Ernest T. Seton, and many community leaders to give direction to the infant program of Boy Scouts of America. On January 2, 1911, West and others formed the National Council, B.S.A. During that year the Scout Oath, Law and fundamental policies were established. Under his leadership over the next three decades, Scouting grew and matured into the program we recognize and enjoy today. Scouting today is the lengthened shadow of more than three decades of the farseeing and dedicated leadership of Dr. James E. West.
You can "extend your shadow" by contributing to the West Fellowship Award. Available for gifts of $1,000 and up to the Council's endowment fund, the gift must be in addition to, and not replace or diminish, the donor’s annual support.
