What is Friends of Scouting?
The Friends of Scouting (F.O.S.) campaign enables the Knox Trail Council to provide programs and services to the youth of the MetroWest area. Many young people may not get the chance to have a hands-on Scouting experience without the generosity of corporations, community members and families of current Scouts. Donations made during the annual campaign are used to maintain two camps, provide training & support materials for the 2,500 volunteers throughout the Council, maintain accident insurance to protect our Scouts and their leaders and fund other programs including Scoutreach efforts.
