Investing in the Leaders of Tomorrow 20 Together with your help, the Boy Scouts of America will continue to motivate young people to make ethical and moral choices over their life- times. Imagine having the opportunity to inspire a youth to be a leader of tomorrow. Your gift will ensure that over 21,000 youth will experience all that Scouting has to offer. There are several ways to financially support Scouting. There is no requirement in Scouting to financially support your council. It is the hope of the volunteers and Council Board that you will be inspired by what Scouting does for youth that you will feel a sense of duty and pride to support them. Friends of Scouting Pays the Way . James E. West Fellowship Cascade Pacific Council serves more than 21,000 youth member. Young people in Scouting learn skills, practice peer leadership, and build character and confidence through year-round outdoor experiences. The Friends of Scouting campaign provides an opportunity for families and community members to support Scouting. Your support provides many outdoor camping programs, enrichment programs for at-risk youth, and service programs that then supports the greater community. The annual estimated cost to provide these opportunities is $200 per youth member. We invite you to consider supporting a year’s worth of adventure for one Scout. Please know that a gift of any level is impactful and appreciated. Many employers match their employees' donations or recognize their volunteer service hours. Please visit your HR department to see if they can double the impact of your gift to Scouting. INFO: www.cpcbsa.org/fos The James E.

Hood, from Clark County in southwest Washington to Linn County, Oregon on the council’s southern border. The properties are used for camping year round for Cub Scout and Boy Scout summer resident camps, winter lodge overnighters, day camps, off- season weekend camping, and everything in between. Thanks to the investment of generous organizations the work has already begun. Your organization can also play a part in this council-wide renovation campaign. Currently our campsites range in scope and breadth of what is needed. Some need simple service project work like clearing trails. Others need a complete rebuild of nearly all structures. Each partnering organization will be matched with campsites that best meets their interest and ability to invest in time, talent, and funding INFO: www.cpcbsa.org/adoptacampsite Endow the Future The endowment fund was established to build a stable funding base for the next 100 years of Scouting in our council.
