dedicated to help send boys to camp and provide

professional support to our volunteer leaders.

good character traits expressed by the values in the

Scout Oath and Law, “Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful,

Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty,

Brave, Clean and Reverent.”

The Impactof Scouting

“Scouting is learning by doing. It’s collecting food, hiking at camp, racing a Pinewood Derby Car, earning merit badges, learning leadership and teamwork and having fun.”

— Brian Macari, 2015 Friends of Scouting ChairmanBALTIMORE AREA COUNCIL

“Scouting taught me how to follow, and then lead, as a patrol leader, a Den Chief, and leader of our Troop. That training—Scouting’s life-long gift—helped boost me to become an effective leader in the Air Force and at NASA.”

Thomas David Jones Ph.D Former NASA Astronaut Distinguished Eagle Scout, Troop 355 Essex Maryland

“My support of Scouting is one way I give back for all I learned as a Scout. When I see young Cub Scouts race Pinewood Derby cars or attend an Eagle Court of Honor I know my time, talent and treasure are well invested.”

Barry P. Gossett Chairman The Gossett Group

“Scouting enriches our families, our workplaces and our communities. As the proud mother of a son with Eagle ambitions and the humble leader of young men whose business capabilites were groomed through their young adult Scouting experiences, I have become a big believer in the power of Scouting to change lives.”

Scouts taught me to me to be brave. I know when hard choices have to be made that I will make the right one. I was nervous to speak to the Maryland State Senate but I knew I had to be brave and after my speech I received a standing ovation.

E X P L O R IN G

Friends of Scouting helps fund program costs for 7,800 young people in Baltimore’s toughest neighborhoods.

My Scouting experience has been nothing short of one adventure after another. The truth is that not many people expect a kid growing up in Baltimore City to do anything positive, let alone get in, stay in and complete a Scouting program all the way to Eagle. They are wrong. – Eagle Scout Malcom Dirton
