Support Scouting at the Jersey Shore
Ways to Support
Through the financial support of individuals, businesses, United Ways and revenue from our popcorn sale and special events, Jersey Shore Council is able to deliver a quality program to more than 6,000 young men and women in the communities served in Ocean and Atlantic Counties. Scouting is 100% locally supported, so what's raised here stays here.
Your help can provide our Scouts the tools to learn valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, the importance of helping others, and caring for the environment that will be carried on throughout their lives. In addition to learning new skills and abilities, these young individuals are learning the importance of setting goals and the sense of personal accomplishment realized upon reaching those goals. With your support, Scouting can inspire a generation of future leaders and their families, who without you, might not have the opportunity to join Scouting.
There are a multitude of ways you donate to Scouting whether it through our annual appeal or through one of our special events your gift supports local Scouting. The buttons below provide donors the opportunity to financially support Scouting by making a gift that is directed towards our various FOS campaigns and special events.
