It’s here — !

Today, your generosity powers the mission of the Great Falls Council to prepare young people for life through character, leadership, and outdoor adventure.

Last week, Scouts and parents from Bowmansville’s Troop 601 made 71 apple pies for Friends of the Night People and the Buffalo City Mission to spread joy this Thanksgiving.

Give today and make your impact: https://scoutingevent.com/375-107917

Together, we can help more Scouts shine!

As we continue to welcome new families into scouting, here are our October 2025 Top Recruiters! Imagine the impact if each of our 550 scouts invited a friend to share in the scouting adventure. Let's work together to make this vision a reality and grow Scouting across our District.

Looking to join the adventure? Visit BeAScout.org to find a unit near you.
