For generations, Scouting has transformed the lives of thousands of youth right here in western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and parts of West Virginia. Scouting is made possible through the generosity of volunteers, families, community members, and companies who all believe that a strong foundation of character and leadership developed in youth leads to stronger, more productive lives.

An investment in Scouting is an investment in America’s future. Your support of Scouting will provide character development, citizenship training, and leadership skills to the youth in your community.

From individual giving and corporate sponsorships to special events and support of Scouting in perpetuity through the endowment fund, the Laurel Highlands Council offers a variety of opportunities for individuals, corporations, and organizations to support youth in southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and portions of West Virginia.

The Laurel Highlands Council’s annual fundraising campaign generates the support needed to make Scouting programs happen each year. There are many ways you can participate in this campaign: as a fundraising volunteer, by making a gift to Friends of Scouting, or simply by attending one of our special events. Every dollar raised stays right here in our region to support the youth in our own communities.

We hope you will find something that not only excites you, but also gives you an opportunity to give back to a program that has shaped the lives of great leaders for well over a century. We need your help building stronger communities together!

If you or your company is interested in learning more about supporting Scouting, please email lhc527@scouting.org, and a member of the development team will connect with you to discuss the best options.

Whatever your level of support, please know that your investment will benefit the youth of your community.
