Support Scouting in our Community
There are many ways to support Scouting in our communities from sponsoring and hosting special events, participating in annual giving campaigns, or by setting up a memorial or tribute.
Special Events
Support Scouting while having fun and networking with others in your community with the same mission. Golf Tournaments, Clay Shoots, or our annual Sportsman's Auction, there's something for everyone.
Giving Tuesday
The first Tuesday in December is #GivingTuesday. We invite you to support the South Louisiana Council so we can continue serving Scouts, their families, and our communities. Research shows that Scouting develops leadership, civic responsibility, and character in youth—creating a positive impact that lasts for generations. Make your gift today and help build the leaders of tomorrow.
