When you invest in Scouting, you invest in character.
At the Mountain West Council of Scouting America, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow into a leader—confident, kind, capable, and service-minded. Through outdoor adventure, community service, and hands-on leadership experiences, Scouting builds character that lasts a lifetime.
Your support makes that possible.
While many programs ask you to give for a specific cause, this opportunity is different. A decision to Invest in Character supports the full mission of Scouting—flexibly and powerfully. It allows us to:
Reach more youth in underserved communities through free, in-school ScoutReach programs
Train volunteers and staff to safely lead engaging, high-quality programs
Maintain and improve our camp properties so Scouts have a place to explore and grow
Provide scholarships for families who would otherwise be unable to afford uniforms or program fees
Respond quickly to the changing needs of local units, schools, and partners
Your donation—whether $10 or $10,000—directly fuels the leadership development of thousands of young people across Idaho and Eastern Oregon.
