We’re on a mission to bring the best talent to our youth programs, and we need your help! We’re looking for donations of real estate, land, or housing to help offset the expenses of moving here. Providing viable housing options for new arrivals will make it easier for us to recruit the top Scouting professionals. Every donation, no matter the size, to the Future Opportunity Pillar will help us achieve this goal.
Running the Best Program Requires the Best People
Behind every great Scouting program is a great professional—and this fund helps us bring them here. With the high cost of housing in Silicon Valley and Monterey Bay, the Future Opportunity Fund helps offset relocation and living costs for new hires, making it possible to attract top talent.
Scouting is a calling, but it also needs to be a career. This fund makes it feasible for passionate, qualified individuals to commit their careers to our movement, without sacrificing their families’ financial well-being. It opens doors for dedicated staff who will mentor youth and guide our council into the future.
A thriving council depends on people—and this fund is how we ensure we have the right ones in place. By investing in our future staff, you’re investing in the long-term success of every Scout they support.
“Moving here to work for Scouting was a big decision—but knowing the council could help with housing made it doable.”
