Invest in Scouting
Your contributions allow us to offer the Scouting program to more than 3,600 Scouts and more than 2,000 volunteers. Without your support, many of these Scouts would not have access to the positive experience of Scouting and a better opportunity to prepare for the future.
Why Give?
Friends of Scouting is an opportunity for families, friends, alumni, businesses, and community organizations to support Scouting. Your support helps us provide the resources necessary to ensure every youth can benefit from Scouting’s fun, exciting, adventure-filled activities, which foster character, honesty, respect, and lifelong values.
The $85 annual Scouting registration fee goes directly to the national office of the Boy Scouts of America. If a Scout unit collects dues, that money stays with the unit to help pay for supplies, advancements, and other activities. None of that money helps the Chickasaw Council. This is why your support is so important.
