The Tall Pine Council receives funding from many sources: Popcorn
Sales, UnitedWays, Special Events, Camp and activities, Endowment
and our Friends of Scouting. Friends of Scouting (F.O.S.) is our annual
fund raising campaign. We ask our District Leaders (District Committees
and Commissioner Staff(s), Businesses and their owners, and individuals
for a financial contribution to support Scouting Programs. We also
ask the parents of Scouts for a "Family" FOS gift. This
is most effective at Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquets and Boy Scout
Courts of Honor. Unit involvement in the Friends of Scouting Campaign
is vital. The Tall Pine Council uses FOS dollars to keep camp costs
as low as possible, provide services to volunteers, such as training
and the Scout Service Center, and to set-up other yearly activities
like Fall Round-up and Scouting for Food.
