Friends of Scouting
Reminder to all unit Family Friends of Scouting champions that the end of March was the deadline to complete unit FOS campaigns. If you have not quite reached your unit goal, unit champions are encouraged to reach out directly to past donors to ask them if they would consider donating in 2019. When past donors are asked why they don't continue to give, one of their top reasons is that no one asked them to give again. So don't be afraid to reach out to former supporters who have given in prior years! If you would like a list of past donors for your unit, contact Kyle Johnson at 682-225-1136 or johnson.kyle.ray@gmail.com. Once you have completed your campaign return all pledge cards along with the goal sheet for your unit to Kyle, or take them directly to the Longhorn Council Office. If you have any questions contact Kyle directly and he will assist you.
