The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. That recipe yields dedicated, committed citizens who are active and engaged in their families and community. That is why we do Scouting. Please help us accomplish those goals by contributing to our annual Friends of Scouting (FOS) campaign. Your monetary contributions help us provide the camping opportunities, training tools and management resources to help make this possible. Please contact Family FOS Chair Rick Gerbeling to coordinate your pack, troop or crew presentation, at: rick@gerbeling.com or 402-778-9850. Call today!
