Friends of Scouting (FOS) Progress!

Twenty-Two (22) units have completed their presentations and have currently raised $18,914 or 16% to our district goal. We have seven (7) units this month that will give their FOS presentations! Let’s raise that thermometer to $40,000 by the end of February!

Congratulations to the following units on a great start to the 2019 FFOS Campaign.

• Pack 477 – 117% to goal
• Troop 570 – 95% to goal

Can You Raise The Thermometer Higher!

Here are five (5) things to do for a successful campaign.

It’s important for units to turn your FOS Packet within 1 week of your presentation. This will give us an accurate way of tracking our results as a district!

1. Submit your FOS Presentation Dates  –  We are still looking for dates from a few of our units. Please provide the information using the Fast Submission Form.
2. Double-Check your presentation date by paging down. A warm-up letter will be sent to all parents of registered youth and to any previous donor two weeks prior to the schedule FOS presentation date from the council office.
3. If you are presenting – check out this great training on videos from Stevie Ray below.
4. Turn in your FOS Packet within 1 week of your presentation. Check for Matching Gifts as a FREE way to help meet your FOS goal.
5. Follow-up with unit parents and friends 2-4 weeks after the presentation. Check out our  Phone Follow-up Tip Sheet and a Follow Up Letter example for ideas.
