Support Scouting in Great Trail Council
Friends of Scouting Campaign
With your help, the Great Trail Council will continue to motivate young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime. Your gift will ensure that all youth throughout our council will have the opportunity to experience all that Scouting has to offer.
Campership Fund
Camping is a vital component of the Scouting experience. It is an opportunity for young people to build a foundation of leadership skills and personal character that will stay with them and set them up for success later in life. Help us ensure EVERY Scout gets to experience camp!
Special Events
The council hosts several special events to raise funds for our Scout programs and two beautiful camps, Camp Manatoc and Camp Stambaugh. There are different ways to get involved. Click the buttons below to find out more information about our 2024 events!
Product Sales

Fall Popcorn & Nut Sale
For over 34 years, Scouts throughout the Great Trail Council have been selling Popcorn and Nuts to help “fund” their year of Scouting. Many incredible trips, camp outs, trainings, and adventures have been paid for by this outstanding Popcorn Sale. Information available Fall 2023.
Memorials & Tribute Fund
Leave a lasting legacy in the Great Trail Council. A gift to our Council's Memorial & Tribute Fund is a thoughtful way to express respect, gratitude, and sincere affection. Your gift honoring a loved one, friend, and others in times of sadness or joy will enrich the lives of the over 6,000 youth served by our council.
All memorial and tribute donations will be placed in the Council's endowment, which will allow Scouting to remain strong well into the future.
Matching Gifts
Many employers will match their employees' personal donations to the Council. Even if you are retired, you may be able to still take advantage of these programs. Each company's program is different, but some may even double or triple the amount of your contribution!
How do you get started?
Contact your Human Resources Department and ask if your employer has a Matching Gifts program.
Fill out and submit your employer's designated form. Your donation will need to be paid in full at the time you make your request.
Great Trail Council will be notified by your employer that you have submitted a Matching Gifts request and we will verify your donation.
