The Boy Scouts of America has been shaping the lives of our youth since 1910.
A Friend of Scouting provides a vital portion of the financial support we need to
teach Scouting principles that will result in a positive influence on character, citizenship, and personal fitness. The youth of today are America’s future leaders. You can help shape that future by investing in Scouting today.

Scouting exists because of the volunteer and financial support provided by the community. Katahdin Area Council is funded by a variety of sources, including: direct contributions, events, annual popcorn sale, foundation grants, the United Way, and program/activity/camping fees. Learn more about Scouting costs and funding.  With your support, Katahdin Area Council will bring the nation’s highest quality Scouting programs to many more youth in our area.

Popcorn Fundraiser (click here for more information)
Scouting means doing. To help packs, troops, and crews raise the necessary funds, Scouting encourages units and individuals to participate in the annual popcorn sale.  This helps teach members the principle of paying their own way while also supporting council operations.
