We are grateful for the support we receive from our corporations and foundations who provide us with the funding we need to empower the next generation of leaders.

Benefits of corporate sponsorship includes recognition at our events, on our website, and via our social media efforts. We can customize your sponsorship to meet the needs of your organization in connection with NNJC mission.

Foundation support meets the direct needs of all our Scouts through our leadership-based program, provides upgrades to our camps and properties and offers education and training to our volunteers and staff to help young men and women be the best versions of themselves.

Summer camp is more than fun for Scouts. It instills self-confidence in a child through challenging activities, new experiences, and developing relationships with others.

Many families need financial support to send their Scout to camp. To assist these families the Northern New Jersey Council has established a Campership Fund. Giving kids the opportunity to get out into nature is an incredible gift. You can make a Scout’s dream come true with a Campership Fund contribution.

“I remember my first day of camp. I was nervous and excited! The nerves didn’t last long but the excitement did. Every day was a new adventure! We cooked, sang and swam together and even had some friendly competitions. When I look back at my childhood, some of my best memories come from my days at camp.”

The Northern New Jersey Council Operates five summer camps. Two Scout BSA Resident Camps, No-Be-Bo-Sco and Turrell, one Scouts BSA Trekking Camps, Floodwood Mountain Reservation, and one Resident Camp, Lewis and one Cub Day Camp, Yaw Paw. Our camps have thousands of day campers, troop overnights, council activities and training throughout the year.

It costs more than $500 per day to cover the cost of upkeep, upgrades safety equipment and much more. The needed repairs, additions and modernization ensure the safety and comfort of our campers.

Your support makes it possible for Scouts to learn the life skills they need to calmly administer first aid to a fellow hiker, serve their community by supporting veterans and organizing food drives, and gain outstanding training in ethics while spending time with their friends.

The Northern New Jersey Council provides the expertise, structure, mentorship, and resources to support youth throughout their Scouting experience. Our local council is funded by a variety of sources, including direct contributions, estate planning, endowment, events, foundation grants, matching gifts, program partners, annual popcorn sale, and program/activity/camping fees. With your support, the Northern New Jersey Council can bring the nation’s highest quality Scouting programs to many more youth.

Friends of Scouting is the annual giving campaign of the Northern New Jersey Council. NNJC invests $365 per Scout yearly to provide enriching and safe experiences for all the youth we serve. The actual cost of Scouting is much greater than local dues, camping and event fees cover. We are grateful for our Scout families and friends who contribute to help offset costs to ensure we deliver a meaningful and impactful Scouting program.

“My project benefited the charity Backpacks for Life, which provides survival backpacks to homeless and at-risk Veterans. I went into the project knowing I can’t help everyone, but I wanted to make a difference for as many as possible as I could.”

Nick set a goal to donate 50 backpacks containing 31 survival items. With the support of volunteers from his troop and community, Nick surpassed his goal and distributed 150 fully stocked backs to Veterans and donated 2,677 survivals items and donated to the organization.

I have done so many amazing things from building my own pine wood derby car, to the day I bridged to Scout’s BSA and to meeting mentors in my field of interest through Exploring. All these experiences allowed me to build my confidence and leadership skills, so I can be an influential and productive member of society. I know I will be Prepared. For Life.”
