You are aware of these costs of Scouting
But most people are unaware of these very real costs
Invest in Our FutureOur outstanding volunteer leaders and council staff keep Scouting going strong in the Heart of America Council, but it takes an investment to make Scouting a viable option for all youth in our communities. By investing in character, you ensure that a quality Scouting program will be delivered to more than 33,055 area youth.
How Much Should I Invest?The Heart of America Council will invest $169 per youth member this year. Please consider giving at the Family Level of $169 and support one Scout’s program for the year. All gifts are greatly appreciated.

Impact of ScoutingAnyone can talk about making a difference
in the lives of young people - but Scouting
puts words into action. Words like honor, duty,
leadership and service translate into actions
like achieving academic success, building
self-confidence and creating opportunities
that many kids can’t get anywhere else. And
it all starts with our values - words we have
lived by for more than 100 years.
