FOS- Three little letters that mean so much! Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members. There’s a whole lot more beneath the surface. Councils provide volunteer and staff training, insurance coverage, support staff, camps, equipment, recognitions for leaders, administrative needs, AV supplies, a council website, scholarships, and so much more; all funded by the Friends of Scouting annual campaign pledges and donations.

Please click here for Friends of Scouting Resources for FOS Presenters, and unit leaders. This link will help you find a presenter for your annual banquet or Court of Honor, or as a presenter, help you find events to attend and support.

Please click the red DONATE button at the top of this page and make a difference today!


 

NEGA Council Campmaster Corps

The Campmaster Corps is a group of selected, trained, and registered Scouters who serve the NEGA Council Scout Camps when groups are using any part of the Camp Property. Campmasters enjoy a great amount of camaraderie during their camp stays. They perform service to others, develop and maintain lasting friendships with other Scouters. The Council Camping Committee is always looking for qualified Campmasters.
