“In a world where young people need positive direction and good role models, Scouting continues to deliver the strong foundational values that makes leaders in our communities and in the world.”

Vinny FergusonScoutmasterTroop 107

Prepare Your Scout for LifeScouting calls us all to give our very best. No other program prepares young people to become successful, responsible adults the way Scouting does.

This preparation is built into Scouting’s very core. Your children learn timeless values like citizenship and leadership, and get to explore cutting edge programs like STEM and robotics. Your children enjoy Scouting because it is fun. But it is through these fun experiences that they learn to seek out adventure and lead others in overcoming life’s challenges.

These life-changing opportunities can’t happen without your support. The Atlanta Area Council relies on people like you to provide the necessary funding to give the best quality Scouting program to the Atlanta area youth.

Every Scout promises to do their best. Will you do likewise by making sure the Scouting program remains the best opportunity for our youth, our families, and our neighborhoods?

Your gift will make a world of difference.

Scouts are more likely to: • Graduate from high school • Graduate from college • Always give their best effort • Treat others with respect • Set goals • Stay physically fit • Value family relationships highly • Take care of the environment
