Why Your Support Matters
Each year, our Gala brings together community leaders, businesses, and supporters who believe in preparing the next generation for life. Your generosity at this event directly supports more than 3,200 youth and 1,700 adult volunteers across the South Puget Sound—helping them experience the adventure, leadership, and personal growth that Scouting provides.
Scouting builds resilience, teamwork, and character—with studies showing that youth involved in Scouting are 87% more likely to hold leadership roles, 80% more likely to volunteer in their communities, and perform 20% better academically than their peers. Through your support, we can continue offering life-changing outdoor adventures, STEM programs, career exploration, and service opportunities for all youth—especially those in rural and underserved communities.
Your contribution tonight ensures every Scout and volunteer has access to safe camps, trained mentors, and the resources they need to thrive. Together, we’re not just funding a program—we’re investing in the future leaders of our communities.
