How You Can Support Through a Family Contribution

The Flint River Council is made up of 8 counties in Central Georgia. There are over 9,00 youth and adults who participate in the program each year.

There are facilities, adult training, communications, professional support to Units, District and Council activities, and program support--that need your help.

How Can You Help Continue the Success?

Enroll as a member of your Unit's Friends of Scouting Family Campaign which will help support the Flint River Council or ask to work in your District's Friends of Scouting Campaign as a worker who will contact 5 persons for a membership. Your financial support allows the Boy Scouts of America to continue to be a proactive organization that MAKES THINGS HAPPEN for young people.

NOTE: The registration fee you pay goes to the National Council for their operations (which you see back in Scouting Magazine and program development) and does not directly support the Flint River Council.
