Your connections can help create meaningful opportunities for Scouts across the Golden Gate Area Council.

We're looking for local businesses and organizations to sponsor Merit Badges that inspire the next generation of leaders, innovators, and skilled professionals. Merit Badge Sponsors receive recognition while helping make Scouting experiences possible.

If a business comes to mind, we'd love an introduction.
