Friends of Scouting

Over the past 110 years, Scouting has laid the foundation for millions of youth to reach their potential. With your gift to the Friends of Scouting campaign, we can ensure that today’s Scouts continue to become tomorrow’s leaders. The Seneca Waterways Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and your donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Nearly 5,000 youth in the Seneca Waterways Council currently benefit from Scouting’s positive impact, but the life-changing programs that Scouting offers aren’t covered by membership fees alone. To ensure that everyone can benefit from Scouting programs, no matter where they live or what their financial situation is, we need your help. Any gift, regardless of size, creates opportunities for Scouts to learn, explore, and grow.

With year-round programming costing $216 per Scout a year, we need the support from Friends of Scouting to continue providing these services to the youth in our local communities. 

For more information on how you can support Scouts and become a Friend of Scouting, contact us at (585) 244-4210 or make a secure online pledge today.
