Ways to Give 

Thank you for supporting the Programs of Scouting America in the Great Trail Council. We deliver the promise of Scouting to youth throughout a seven-county area of Northeast Ohio.

Our Scouting programs train the next generation of leaders, give back to the community through service, and teach young people to “Be Prepared” for life, adventure, and education.

Your donations help ensure high-quality Scouting programs for every youth!

Each year, the Great Trail Council hosts a wide range of events at which we honor one or more people or companies in a key industry.
