Jamboree Troop Donation to WFF


Recommended Posts

I received an e-mail with the following information regarding Jamboree Troops giving to the World Friendship Fund.

 

Once again Scouts have exhibited their great

generosity. During the BSA's national Scout jamborees, it has been the custom to have a World Friendship Fund Collection. During the 2001 national jamboree, Boy Scouts donated more than $47,000 to the World Friendship Fund to aid international Scouting projects worldwide. In 2005, the World Friendship Fund surpassed this extraordinary effort by collecting more

than $52,000.

 

The top 10 units contributing to the 2005 World

Friendship Fund were:

Region Troop Amount Council

Western Region 817 $611 San Diego

Northeast Region 120 $553 Knox Trail

Western Region 815 $533 Catalina

Central Region 1113 $402 Lake Huron Area

Western Region 710 $359 Mount Baker

Central Region 1235 $276 Greater St. Louis

Western Region 925 $271 Denver Area

Western Region 611 $271 Santa Clara

Northeast Region 323 $270 Otetiana

Central Region 1223 $262 Chicago Area

 

Troop 1113 was the troop I was Scoutmaster for. I gave the boys a challenge of raising $500 and I would let them shave my head. Needless to say, I still have what locks I had.
