DONATE
Want to make an impact on hundreds of scouts from across the Pacific Northwest? Consider donating to Volcano Scouting's general fund! Because we are a membership-driven organization, we get most of our funding from our participants, however, we feel they should pay only what is needed to support a bare-minimum program. External donations help our staff provide additional program features that go above and beyond. For example, individual contributions supported the installation of a flagpole at the Mount St. Helens Science and Learning Center through a staff member's eagle scout project. All in-kind cash and product/service donations are tax-deductible thanks to the Mount St. Helens Institute. Interested in donating?

PROMOTION
What's the easiest and most effective way of helping our organization: promoting it! Volcano Scouting is a grass-roots organization built on the hard work and dedication of scouts, adult leaders and outdoor professionals who believe in stewardship, adventure, education, and leadership at Mount St. Helens. Because we composed of are satellite volunteers from all across the Pacific Northwest, it can sometimes be difficult to reach our intended audiences. How can we fix that? With your help of course? Lend a hand by sharing our social media posts, program fliers, website, or even contact information with other Scouting units, outdoor professionals, businesses, non-profit organizations, and journalists. Just imagine the publicity we could raise if every one of our participants told one person about Volcano Scouting!
