I am a commitee member for our BSA local charter. I had a opportunity to discuss this matter with the District honchos last week. Although some funds were lost, he said that Friends of Scouting was having a good fund raising year and our district is ok. We are having trouble at the local troop level though because some of our donors sent the check to friends of scouting.(we recieve no finacial assistance from the district at troop level) Oh well!
I mention this because you might check with your local troop first. They are often the most needy.
Thanks for your work,my brother is a Camp Ranger in WA.
