Support Scouting. Strengthen Our Communities. Build Tomorrow’s Leaders.
Friends of Scouting is Sequoia Council’s annual giving campaign that provides essential support for Scouting programs and services throughout Fresno, Madera, Kings, and Tulare Counties.
Your support helps ensure that local young people continue to have access to the adventures, leadership opportunities, outdoor experiences, and character-building programs that make Scouting possible.
What is Friends of Scouting?
Friends of Scouting provides annual financial support for the programs, camps, training, and resources that serve Scouts, families, and volunteers throughout Sequoia Council.
Registration fees cover only a portion of what it takes to provide a quality Scouting program. Friends of Scouting helps bridge that gap and provides resources that strengthen Scouting at the unit, district, and council levels.
Whether you are a Scouting family, alumnus, volunteer, business, or community supporter, your support directly strengthens Scouting here in Central California.

Why Friends of Scouting Matters
Scouting is powered by volunteers, but delivering a strong Scouting program requires resources.
Behind every Scout and every unit is a network of camps, trained volunteers, program resources, professional staff, facilities, communications, insurance, and administrative support working together to make the program possible.
Friends of Scouting helps provide that foundation.
Your annual support allows Sequoia Council to strengthen existing programs, reach more young people, maintain our camping properties, support our volunteers, and continue providing the experiences that help Scouts develop character, confidence, leadership, and a commitment to serving others.
