French Creek Council Champions
Support Local Scouting Through Erie Gives
Every young person deserves the opportunity to experience the adventure, leadership, friendship, and personal growth that Scouting provides. Through Erie Gives, you can help make that opportunity possible for more youth throughout our community.
The French Creek Council Champions are a team of passionate supporters who believe every child deserves the chance to camp, explore the outdoors, develop leadership skills, and grow into a confident, caring adult. During Erie Gives, our Champions are coming together to raise critical funds that directly support local Scouts and families.
Why Erie Gives Matters
Erie Gives is one of the most impactful days of charitable giving in our community. Every donation made during the event receives a prorated match from the Erie Community Foundation's matching pool, increasing the impact of your gift at no additional cost to you.
That means your generosity goes even further in helping local youth experience the life changing benefits of Scouting.
Your Gift Changes Lives
Your Erie Gives donation helps provide:
🏕️ Financial assistance so every child has the opportunity to attend summer camp and Scouting programs
🌲 Outdoor adventures at Custaloga Town Scout Reservation that build confidence, resilience, and independence
🧭 Leadership development programs that prepare young people for success in school, careers, and life
🎒 Program supplies, uniforms, and resources for youth who need them most
🤝 Community service projects that help Scouts make a positive difference throughout Erie County and beyond
Every gift helps ensure that financial barriers never prevent a young person from discovering their potential through Scouting.
Become a French Creek Council Champion
Champions do more than make a donation. They inspire others to invest in the future of local youth.
By creating your own fundraising page, sharing our mission with family and friends, or making a personal contribution, you become part of a community committed to preparing the next generation of leaders.
Every dollar you raise helps open the door to life changing experiences for a local Scout.
