Support Scouting


 The Boy Scouts of America has been shaping the lives of our youth since 1910.  A Friend of Scouting provides a vital portion of the financial support we need to teach Scouting principles that will result in a positive influence on character, citizenship, and personal fitness.  The youth of today are America’s future leaders.  You can help shape that future by investing in Scouting today.

Scouting exists because of the volunteer and financial support provided by the community.  South Florida Council is funded by a variety of sources, including: direct contributions from individuals, companies and organizations; special events such as golf tournaments; our annual popcorn sale; foundation grants; the United Way of Monroe County; and program/activity/camping fees. There are many ways to help Scouting here in the South Florida Council, BSA.  Below are many of the areas you can help Scouting directly and indirectly.  With your support, South Florida Council will bring one of the nation’s highest quality Scouting programs to many more youth in our area.
