Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

Funding Challenges Impacting Programs: Over the past year, limited fundraising has prevented the French Creek Council from meeting several growing demands:

• Camp Maintenance: Critical repairs and upgrades at Custaloga Town have been delayed due to lack of funds.

• Youth Access: We’re unable to fully support underserved youth with uniforms, materials, handbooks and scholarships.

• Program Supplies: Needed equipment and innovative program tools, including STEM and career exploration, and skilled trades are limited.

• Affordable Events: Without sufficient support, fewer families can afford to participate in year-round activities.

Increased funding is essential to meet these needs and keep Scouting strong in our communities.
