___________________________ District of the Mount Baker Council, BSA

January 2017

Dear Parent,

Each year our [Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop, Sea Scout Ship or Venturing Crew] conducts

a Friends of Scouting (FOS) Campaign. Your support will make a difference to the youth of

our area, including your son (and/or daughter in Venturing), who will be positively affected

by your donation. Our Scouts have benefited greatly over the years because of the Mount

Baker Council’s partnership and support of our program. This is our opportunity to make

an educated decision to support the character-building mission of the district and the

council.

At our [Pack Blue and Gold Banquet, Troop Court of Honor] a brief Friends of Scouting (FOS)

presentation will be given. At that time, your family will be given the opportunity to

contribute to our Council’s future. Please be prepared to contribute, if you wish to do so, by

having your pledge, cash or check ready at the completion of the meeting. It takes about

$190 to sustain one Scout for one year. We have _________ Scouts in our ___________ so our goal

is $_________. I plan to contribute and ask that you join me in filling out your own pledge card.

And please remember that many companies now offer matching gift and/or matching hour

programs that can raise many dollars for local Scouting. This is especially true of Microsoft,

BP and many other companies.

If you have any questions in the meantime, don’t hesitate to call me at ________________ or send

an email at ______________________________. Thanks again for your help, support and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Your (Pack, Troop, Crew) FOS Coordinator _____________________
