Family Friends of Scouting is an opportunity for families, friends, and alumni to support Scouting. When a member joins, the $33 registration fee goes directly to the national office of the Boy Scouts of America. If a Scout unit collects dues, that money stays with the unit to help pay for supplies, advancements, and other activities. None of that money supports the Hawk Mountain Council.
