Mountain West Council Youth Benefits

The Merit Badge Sponsorship Program provides opportunities for youth in low-income and culturally diverse areas to grow physically, mentally, and morally in an after-school and weekend activities. By attending Scouting’s structured, safe activities, Idaho’s young people do not have as much idle time to explore drugs, alcohol, or find themselves in as many peer-pressure activities. The ScoutReach program is a year-round effort because the pressures on our young people increase every day. There is no better time than now to help guide youth in positive directions.

THANK YOU! With your funding, the Mountain West Council will ensure that the youth involved will register with the Scouting America, have the opportunities to attend summer camp, own their own books and uniforms, and enjoy the same activities as youth involved in mature, self-funded units. Your funding will also help us to create more Scout units, and to develop the units into self-sustaining, successful programs.
