We’ve Started the New Year with a BANG – Family Friends of Scouting (FOS) 2019
With 2018 behind us, we have started ramping up our FOS Campaign!
Fourteen (14) units have completed their presentations and have currently raised $18,234 or 16% to our district goal. We have another six units this month that will give their FOS presentations!
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- If you are presenting – check out this great training on videos from Stevie Ray below.
- 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.
- 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.
