Statement from
the National Council of the Boy
Scouts of America
Regarding Solicitations
Friends of Scouting
The Friends of Scouting (F.O.S.) campaign enables the Knox
Trail Council to provide programs and services to the youth
of the MetroWest area. Many young people may not get the
chance to have a hands-on Scouting experience without the
generosity of corporations, community members and families
of current Scouts.
Donations made
during the annual campaign are used to maintain two camps,
provide training & support materials for the 2,500
volunteers throughout the Council, maintain accident
insurance to protect our Scouts and their leaders and fund
other programs including Scoutreach efforts.
Donors who
contribute $127.20 or more will receive a special limited
edition Knox Trail
Council 2009 FOS "A Scout is Friendly"
