Family Friends of Scouting (FFOS) Ends May 15, 2019

By Sally Jensen | April 20, 2019

Thirty-two (32) units have completed their presentations and have currently raised $49,969 or 40.75% to our district goal.

If you have NOT COMPLETED your presentation, you still have time! We are one (1)  month away from the May 15th deadline and your opportunity to earn your unit’s recognition items.

Congratulations to the following units you have exceeded their 2019 FFOS Campaign goal. 

  • Pack 303 – 93% to goal
  • Pack 429 – 125% to goal
  • Pack 477 – 128% go goal
  • Pack 537 – 105% go goal
  • Troop 337 – 112% to goal
  • Troop 567 – 124% to goal
  • Troop 570 – 168% to goal

 

Check your Unit’s Goal Status

Remember: It’s important that you turn in your  FFOS packet within a week of your presentation. This will give us an accurate way of tracking our results!

Priorities

Utilize the May 15th Deadline

For those units that are really close to your goals, try the following:

  • Follow up with members of your unit that have not given to FOS
  • Have a call night with a few members of your committee to reach out to those alumni that have not given!
  • Hand in your Orange and White Envelopes to Council office, Sally Jensen, or Nicole DeYong!
  • Recognize those participants that have given at your next meeting!

Tips

5 Tips to Ask and Never Get Turned Down!

When making our calls to unrenewed donors in the coming weeks, keep Gail Perry’s, “5 Tips To Ask and Never Get Turned Down” at the top of your mind!

Whether this is your first campaign or your 50th, Gail’s tips can help you take your telephone calls and conversations to the next level.

Make Your Unit Goal by May 15, 2019!

Remember, if your unit achieves its FOS goal by May 15th, Packs will receive free Pinewood Derby cars (based on membership at the end of May) and Troops will receive free cloth rank advancement and merit badges for the next year!
