6. The BSA is a Chartering Organization
“The Boy Scouts of America does not
operate Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Varsity Scout teams, or Venturing crews. The Boy Scouts of America charters organizations to use the program as a resource for children, youth, and families.”
-The Chartered Organization Representative Guidebook, pg. 22.

7. The BSA is a Chartering Organization
“The Boy Scouts of America makes its program available by issuing a charter for each unit (Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Varsity Scout team, Venturing crew, Sea Scout ship) your organization operates.”
“Thus, your organization may have one or more charters from the [BSA] for one or more Scouting units.”
“This charter authorizes your organization to make use of the Scouting program …”
-The Chartered Organization Representative Guidebook, pg. 4.

8. Mission of the BSA
 "The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law."

The purpose of the district is to work through chartered organizations and community groups to organize and support successful units. The end result of effective district support: more and more youth members receiving a better and better program. --

Should individuals desire more detailed information about the use of FOS funds, please feel free to refer them to our San Tan District, District Director, Michael Chang at
or (928)

78. FOS Goals: Per Elder Robbins Ltr.

79. FOS: “Meaningful Opportunity”
Please keep in mind that the FOS goals include giving “all families a meaningful opportunity to contribute financially to scouting.” 
Announcing FOS generically from the pulpit or in priesthood opening exercises, or including an announcement in the ward bulletin are helpful but DO NOT provide a meaningful opportunity to contribute, as contemplated. 
Such efforts, alone, will result in very few if any donations. 
Rather, a coordinated effort to make in-person invitations to each family is much more likely to result in actual donations and a successful FOS effort—and is more in line with the “meaningful opportunity” contemplated by Elder Robbins’ instruction. 

80. FOS: “Meaningful Opportunity”
Sample Procedural Considerations:
1.      Subject to your Bishop’s direction about any individuals/families that should not be contacted, everyone in your ward should be given a personal invitation to contribute to FOS.
In order to assist your FOS campaign chair (if not you), please print out a copy of the ward list and ask your bishop to identify anyone that should NOT be contacted for FOS purposes.
All remaining families on the “Approved List” should be given a direct invitation to contribute to FOS.
Once this list is compiled and approved by the bishop, please provide it to your FOS campaign chair (if not you).
2.      Designate a Sunday, several weeks out as “Friends of Scouting Sunday.”  Insert a running announcement in your ward bulletin to that effect 2-3 weeks in advance of FOS Sunday, announce it from the pulpit, and send out the Bishop’s letter, per the direction of Elder Robbins.
3.      Collect FOS contributions on FOS Sunday.  After the Campaign Chair records all individuals/families who made a contribution, divide up the remaining names on the Approved List among the adult scout leaders for making a personal invitation to make a FOS contribution. 
4.      In most cases, the personal invitations can be extended on the same day as FOS Sunday.  The Campaign Chair should keep track of the results of all personal invitations (even those who decline to contribute).
5.      Have the assigned scout leaders promptly follow-up with any individuals/families who are out of town or otherwise not available on FOS Sunday to receive a personal invitation.  Try to keep this window to a week (so as to avoid letting the FOS  campaign “drag on”).  Along the same lines, try to collect actual contributions (rather than pledges, that you will have to then follow up on later).
6.      Once all individuals/families on the Approved List have been extended an invitation to contribute and have responded, input the contributions into gcc.patchfunding.com, and turn in funds, as directed.

81. FOS: Patchfunding
Go to:  and log in with the credentials for your ward.

82. FOS: Patchfunding

85. Merit Badge Counselors
COR “[c]ultivate[s] resources to support your organization’s units.”
--The Chartered Organization Representative Guidebook, pp. 1, 10.
Goal: Every ward is encouraged to be self-sufficient in MB counselors for all required merit badges.
Scout masters and Assistant SMs should not be de facto (and often unregistered/questionably qualified) MB counselors for every badge.
Procedures for registering as MB counselor:
Need: (1) Adult leader application; (2) MB counselor application; (3) copy of current YPT certification.

86. COR & Good Unit “Hygiene” (Recognition for Youth / Adults)
The COR “[e]mphasize[s] advancement and recognition … [and] [e]ncourage[s] recognition of leaders.”
--The Chartered Organization Representative Guidebook, pp. 1, 9, 10.
“[The COR] works with other leaders to … [h]elp provide recognition for boys, young men, and their leaders.”
--Scouting Handbook for Church Units in the United States, § 4.2.

87. COR & Good Unit “Hygiene” (Recognition [Youth]: Courts of Honor)
Hold a regular Courts of Honor (e.g., quarterly).
Should be planned by Unit Committee(s).
Don’t just give awards; use COH as an opportunity to showcase your programs and build enthusiasm in participants and future scouts (e.g., show photos from recent campouts/activities; have scouts display a skill they’ve learned; hold a charter presentation ceremony after annual charter is granted; etc.).
COR should attend and set example by wearing full uniform.
