Take the family out and eat at Smashburgers on Wednesday or Thursday night between 4-9 pm. 

Thank you to everyone that returned pledge cards for Friends of Scouting! Your support is invaluable and directly contributes to the quality of the Scouting experience our sons enjoy. 
I will be at this Tuesday’s meeting to answer any questions and to accept additional pledge cards and/or any nominal donations.

I can't emphasize enough how important Friends of Scouting is for the Oconeechee Council and how much it helps to have full participation - no donation is too small. Even if you lost your pledge card, I can take your contribution and fill out a pledge card with your roster information. Please keep in mind all the Council does to ensure the Scouting experience:

* Training programs for all volunteers and staff,
* Insurance coverage to protect volunteers, chartered organizations, staff members and properties
* Support staff for registration, publications and other program support
* Top-Notch Camps: Cub Scout day camps, Boy Scout summer camps, high-adventure bases and more
* Camp Rangers to keep the council camps up-to-date and ready for Scouts and families
* Camp Equipment, like tents, cooking equipment, camp vehicles, building repairs, canoes, equipment replacement and repair, and general upkeep of council camps
* Recognition for Leaders who complete training and volunteer for special projects,
* Professional Staff to guide organizing new units, managing fundraising programs, conducting training, assisting membership recruitment, providing counsel and direct support for district, camps and programs.
* Service Centers to provide additional support to volunteers
* Audio-Visual Supplies used in training, at camps and in volunteer meetings
* Council Website to keep you informed
* Reference publications and resources, including program planning kits and to camping cookbooks
* Camp Scholarships, uniforms and registration fees for disadvantaged young people

Our goal is to meet the Council’s need of $125 per Scout, which can be achieved with an $11/month recurring contribution, however, any amount you can offer is appreciated and gratefully accepted.
As always, thank you for your time, attention and support.

Thank you to those that returned their pledge cards for Friends of Scouting at this week’s Court of Honor. Your support is invaluable and directly contributes to the quality of the Scouting experience our sons enjoy.
John will be at this Tuesday’s meeting to answer any questions and to accept additional pledge cards.

Here is a short list of how your Friends of Scouting contributions are applied at the Oconeechee Council:

Want to know the fundrasing status of our troop? Want to know if you have paid for camp? Want to know the current status of your Scout's fundraising?
