Easy Way To Fund Council
Use Amazon Smile to have Amazon help fund Monmouth Council. Read this article, then using your normal Amazon ID, log into Amazon Smile and register your charity as "Monmouth Council - Boy Scouts of America Council". Then just use Amazon Smile as your portal to all your Amazon shopping needs and Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price or your purchases to our Council. (Much simpler than other fund raisers!)
Eagle Projects Available at Twin Lights State Historic Site, Cheesequake State Park, and Holmdel Township. These are some outstanding opportunities for our Eagle prospects to assist the community while demonstrating scout spirit.
