2026 Friends of Scouting
Support Scouting locally in the Pine Tree Council with The Eagle Trail Recognition (ETR) program!
Eagle Trail Recognition –Highest Impact for Donations. Supports the General Operating Fund for Pine Tree Council which helps cover unit and Council membership and program support, recruitment, assistance with National Scouting fees, starting new units to help offer Scouting locally, camp facilities and program support, campership & registration assistance, utilities, training, salaries & insurance.
As one of the nation’s largest and the most effective youth development organizations, Scouting America has served young men and women for more than 115 years. Together with your help, the Pine Tree Council, Scouting America will continue to inspire young people to make ethical and moral choices, become self-reliant, and take a prominent role in civic engagement over their lifetimes.
Supporting Scouting means being a member of a worldwide movement that stands for certain values and beliefs. Scouting is more than something to do. It is all about building leaders of strong moral character. Boys, girls, young men, and young women. Strengthening families and communities. As we look for vitality in our communities, we must be willing to put forth the commitment to guarantee that we do not lose our most precious resource – our children.
Providing youth with the steppingstones to positively affect their lives and those around them is the cornerstone on which Scouting America is built. It is no longer optional to attract young people and prepare them to lead tomorrow; it is vital. We can prepare them today so that they can lead tomorrow, but only through teamwork with, and investment from individuals, corporations, foundations, and organizations.
Our objective is to help this generation of young people develop strong moral character, become self-reliant, and be prepared to lead. We are as relevant and needed today as we were 100 years ago and, with ongoing support, will be so 100 years from now.
