Help Build the Next Generation of Leaders
Support Scouting today and help prepare young people for a lifetime of service, leadership, and adventure.
Why Scouting?
Scouting gives young people opportunities to learn by doing, serve their communities, and explore the outdoors. Along the way, Scouts build friendships, develop confidence, and strengthen their leadership skills.
However, not every family can afford registration fees, uniforms, equipment, activities, and summer camp. Therefore, your support helps make meaningful Scouting experiences available to more young people.
When you give to Scouting, you invest in character, citizenship, leadership, outdoor adventure, and lifelong values. Most importantly, you help prepare young people to make a positive difference in their communities.
Ways to Give
There are many ways to support Scouting and make a meaningful difference. Whether you make one gift or provide ongoing support, every contribution helps strengthen local programs.
Make a One-Time Gift
A one-time donation can support program materials, outdoor experiences, equipment, advancement recognition, and leader training. In addition, your gift can provide financial assistance to Scouts and families who need help.
Your gift can help cover:
- Registration assistance for Scouts in need
- Camping and outdoor program costs
- Uniforms, handbooks, and advancement materials
- Equipment for safe and engaging activities
- Leadership training and program support
Become a Monthly Supporter
Monthly giving provides steady and reliable support throughout the year. As a result, Green Mountain Council can plan programs, maintain resources, and respond to changing needs.
Even a small monthly gift can create a lasting impact when combined with support from other donors.
Sponsor a Scout
Cost should never prevent a young person from experiencing Scouting. Therefore, sponsoring a Scout can help remove financial barriers for a local family.
For example, your support may help cover registration, uniforms, handbooks, camp fees, or activity costs. In turn, that Scout can participate more fully in the program.
Support Outdoor Adventure
Outdoor experiences remain at the heart of Scouting. Through camping, hiking, cooking, and other activities, Scouts gain confidence and learn practical skills.
Your gift helps provide safe equipment, trained leaders, maintained facilities, and memorable outdoor programs. As a result, more Scouts can experience meaningful adventures throughout the year.
Give Through Your Business or Organization
Businesses, civic groups, and community organizations can also support local Scouting. For example, partners may provide sponsorships, matching gifts, event support, in-kind donations, or volunteer service.
In addition, community partnerships help Scouting reach more families and strengthen local programs.
Planned Giving and Legacy Gifts
A planned gift can help Scouting remain strong for future generations. Therefore, alumni, families, and community members may choose to include Scouting in their estate plans.
Through a legacy gift, you can continue supporting character development, leadership, and outdoor adventure for years to come.
The Impact of Giving
Every gift creates opportunities for young people. While donations fund activities and materials, they also help Scouts build character, develop confidence, and serve their communities.
Your Support Helps Scouts:
With your support, Scouts can:
- Learn leadership through hands-on responsibility
- Build confidence by trying new activities
- Serve their communities through meaningful projects
- Explore the outdoors safely
- Develop teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving skills
- Grow through advancement and personal achievement
Your Gift in Action
Every donation can make a difference. For example:
- $25 can provide program supplies or advancement materials.
- $50 can help cover a uniform, handbook, or activity fee.
- $100 can support a Scout’s participation in outdoor programs.
- $250 can provide equipment, training, or assistance for several Scouts.

Together, these gifts help Green Mountain Council deliver strong and accessible Scouting programs.
Special Events
Special events bring the Scouting community together while raising essential support for local programs. In addition, these gatherings help fund youth activities, outdoor adventures, service projects, leadership development, and financial assistance.

At the same time, event volunteers can meet other supporters and contribute to an important cause.
