- Enroll your children in Scouting. They will
love it and thank you for it!
- Become a BSA volunteer. With the enormous
time pressures in their lives, America's youth need
time well spent. Whether you volunteer as a den leader,
Scoutmaster, or merit badge counselor, Scouting will
be worth your time and effort because of the benefits
it provides to youth.
- Tell your neighbors and friends about Scouting. Youth
love Scouting and its activities, but they love it
even more when their friends are involved.
- Get your place of worship involved in Scouting. Churches,
synagogues, and mosques are great places for Scouting
activities. The Boy Scouts of America supports the
strong ideals and values that families are looking
for today.
- Write a letter to your local newspaper. The Boy
Scouts is a great organization that builds character
and values. Tell other people about it!
- Write a letter to your United Way. The Boys
Scouts of America is one of the founding organizations
of the United Way. The Boy Scouts of America and United
Way have a long relationship. Many of the more than
1,400 local United Way chapters support the BSA. Let
them know what a great job Scouting is doing in your
community.
- Write your local school board president and principal. Thank
them for the opportunity to use their facilities for
Scouting activities, for the use of their bulletin
boards to get information to youth, and for the access
their school provides to help get information to parents
of Scouting-age youth.
- Call your local Boy Scout council. Tell them
how much you appreciate what the organization is doing
in your community to build tomorrow's leaders.
- Organize a Scout color guard for local athletic
events or city council meetings. It is important
for people to see Scouting as a meaningful and vital
part of the community.
- Financially support a youth in need. Everyone
who shares BSA's strong values should be able to participate
in Scouting. Contribute to Scouting and you will change
a life.
