Friends of Scouting

CSAC Info and Registration >

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 fully tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.

Nearly 8,000 youth in the Seneca Waterways Council currently benefit from the positive impact of Scouting, but the life-changing programs that Scouting offers aren’t covered by membership fees alone. To help make sure that everyone has the ability to 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 be able to continue to provide 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.
