Invest in Character

When you invest in Scouting, you invest in character.

At the Mountain West Council of Scouting America, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow into a leader—confident, kind, capable, and service-minded. Through outdoor adventure, community service, and hands-on leadership experiences, Scouting builds character that lasts a lifetime.

Your support makes that possible.

While many programs ask you to give for a specific cause, this opportunity is different. A decision to Invest in Character supports the full mission of Scouting—flexibly and powerfully. It allows us to:

  • Reach more youth in underserved communities through free, in-school ScoutReach programs

  • Train volunteers and staff to safely lead engaging, high-quality programs

  • Maintain and improve our camp properties so Scouts have a place to explore and grow

  • Provide scholarships for families who would otherwise be unable to afford uniforms or program fees

  • Respond quickly to the changing needs of local units, schools, and partners

Your donation—whether $10 or $10,000—directly fuels the leadership development of thousands of young people across Idaho and Eastern Oregon.

There is no patch, no t-shirt, no plaque. Only this:

The knowledge that your generosity helped a Scout find their path, learn to lead, and become the kind of person our world needs.

Join us. Invest in Character. Invest in Scouting.
