Donate to Scouting Today!

COVID-19 prevention measures are still impacting the ability to conduct in-person Friends of Scouting (FOS) presentations. For your convenience, current FOS donors can now make each of their monthly payments (with No Fees!) in just a few seconds by clicking on the “Donate Now” button.

Local Scouting in Old North State Council, BSA thrived in the “Virtual Scouting World” of online merit badge instruction, Zoom gatherings, and other online activities that kept our Scouts and parents engaged socially while physically distant. Scouting provided so many quality moments for families at home. Operational costs still exist, even at the reduced meeting level. They will now begin to increase as Scouting activity is returning to normal.

If you haven’t had an opportunity to participate in “Friends of Scouting” this year at your Pack, Troop, Crew, or Sea Scouts meeting, please take a moment to do so now.

Thank you in advance for your support.
