The Atlanta Area Council Friends of Scouting campaign has a target to raise over $2 million for 2008.  Friends of Scouting helps secure the operating funds needed by the Atlanta Area Council to provide the many services offered to support unit programs, such as training, insurance, program materials, advancement materials, camping facilities and programs, council and district activities, and much more.

Family contributors who invest $300 or more in the 2008 Friends of Scouting Campaign will receive a special edition "Cheerful" collector's patch. 

A premiere Scouting program requires a significant investment. The Family Friends of Scouting program is extremely important to the success of our overall fundraising efforts because it shows the rest of the community how committed our members are to the Scouting program and serves as an example when asking for their support.

For more information, please contact Scott Voorhees, Button Gwinnett District Executive at svoorhees@atlantabsa.org, or call the Finance Department at 770-956-3196.

Workplace/Matching Gifts - Increase Your Boy Scout Support
Many corporations match gifts made by their employees to the Boy Scouts. Some companies even give financial contributions on behalf of the time you give as a volunteer.  Click here to view some companies who have historically matched their employee's generosity.  If you do not see your employer here, please don't assume they do not participate in the matching gifts program; check with your human resources department for more information. Please contact Jenna Crutchfield at jcrutchfield@atlantabsa.org, if you're aware of another matching gift company.
