Invest in the Future of Our Youth — Support Scouting

Every year, thousands of young people across northern New Jersey discover their potential through the life-changing experiences only Scouting can offer. Whether they’re learning outdoor skills, earning the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout, or giving back to their communities through over 117,000 hours of service, Scouting shapes the leaders we need for tomorrow — and it all starts with your support.

Scouting works — but it doesn’t happen without you.

The Northern New Jersey Council (NNJC) serves over 9,000 youth annually, providing safe, enriching programs that teach responsibility, teamwork, leadership, and resilience. This past year alone, 266 Scouts earned the rank of Eagle — an achievement that reflects years of dedication and growth. Thousands of youth experienced the joy and challenge of summer camp, creating memories and building confidence that will last a lifetime.

But delivering this high-quality Scouting experience requires more than passion — it requires investment. NNJC spends $365 per Scout per year to make Scouting accessible, safe, and impactful. Local dues and event fees cover only a fraction of that cost.

That’s where our Annual Giving campaign comes in — and where you make a difference.

Your gift helps provide:

• Trained and background-checked volunteer leaders
• Top-tier camping facilities and outdoor programs
• Essential insurance and safety resources
• Program materials that bring learning to life

When you give, you’re not just supporting Scouting — you’re empowering youth, strengthening families, and investing in the future of our communities.

Give today. Because the future is built one Scout at a time.
