People often ask, "How is Scouting doing today?"

Scouting is doing well, but it's not reaching every young person who could benefit from the values it teaches. More young people than ever need the values of Scouting in their lives.

American families are not what they once were. More often than not, Mom and Dad both work. Many are single parents. Some children come home to an empty house. When their parents return from work there is not always enough time and energy left for to provide the nurturing and support to children.

Today, more than ever, America needs the character-building program of the Boy Scouts of America.

Here in Rainbow Council, more than 8,000 youth, ages 6 through 20, benefit from Scouting. More than 2,200 adults serve as volunteer leaders.

It takes money to provide a year-round program for this many youth. Much of that money comes from donations through the annual Friends of Scouting campaign. Scouting families, Scout leaders and members of the public are asked to support the Rainbow Council with their donations.

Generous donations from Friends of Scouting provide council programs that support local Scouting units and youth members in many ways.
