Scouting helps youth grow in character, self-esteem, and social adeptness in very specific ways:

• Learning and practicing leadership
• Prioritizing service to others
• Setting goals and developing plans to achieve them

If you believe more youth could use these traits and values, please consider becoming a member of the Tom Wooten Society.

What is the Tom Wooten Society?

• Dr. Goodall Wooten (1869-1942), physician and philanthropist
• Purchased site overlooking Bull Creek, gave land to our council in 1934 to establish a camp
• Camp was named Tom D. Wooten Boy Scout Camp in honor of Wooten’s only son, an avid Scout, who died in his youth

• Organized in 2014, the Tom Wooten Society is made up of individuals recognizing the need for and value of Scouting who made three-year financial pledges of between $25,000 and $100,000
• Goal: enhance Scout programs and reduce staff time for fundraising, allowing them to focus on program delivery

• Benefits of being Wooten Society member:
  • Quarterly updates on how your gift is making a difference
  • Invitation to an annual donor Thank You event
  • Invitations to special events
