  2. Duty to God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SiOkJQyZ8c “It is far better to build boys than to mend men.”-Pres. Thomas S. Monson

  3. Direction Given by the Church “The Church supports Friends of Scouting as a separate voluntary solicitation. Every member of every ward should be offered the opportunity to contribute to Friends of Scouting.” -Scouting & The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, pg. 11 “The Church supports the BSA’s annual Friends of Scouting drive. These funds provide financial support for the local BSA council. Stake presidents and bishops oversee the drive in their units.” -Scouting Handbook for Church Units in the United States, 2015 Edition, §8.15 100% of FOS donations stay in the Utah South area

  4. General Instruction & AssignmentsReceived from Area Authority Seventy You have received via e-mail or in your ward packet of instructions. As directed by your stake president and bishop please follow the instructions. Let’s take a closer look at these instructions.

  5. Utilize unpc.patchfunding.com It is expected that each ward and stake utilize the online FOS management system unpc.patchfunding.com Stakes will be able to: • Manage closely their campaign progress • See donors and donations as they are made • Set-up user accounts as needed • Set-up ward goals Wards will be able to: • Update donor records • See past donations received • Create and manage donor routes • Print extra donor cards • Enter cash and check donations received • Create deposit slips and take donations to the bank

  6. Overview of unpc.patchfunding.com Steps to using the Online FOS System – Patch Funding • Go to: https://unpc.patchfunding.com/ & Click on “My Account” • Enter your Username & Password (on front of your ward packet) • Remove donors who have moved • Add new donors • Set up/manage routes • Print extra donor cards • Educate & train ward FOS workers • Give every household in the ward an opportunity to donate • Upon receiving cash & check donations, log them into the online system For more specific information on the patchfunding system & how to log donations go to utahscouts.org/FOS

  7. Educate & Train Ward FOS Workers Each Ward FOS Worker should: • Know how to use the URL code system • Be able to use the Donor Cards • Conduct a successful Friends of Scouting drive by providing every individual and family with an opportunity to financially contribute to Friends of Scouting • Be familiarized with and use FOS materials provided For more info go to: www.utahscouts.org/fos

  8. Provide Every Individual and Family an Opportunity to Financially Contribute The “Pitch” -Why Scouting? Explain how Scouting impacts our youth, adults, and community. Bear testimony or share a good story. The “Price” -The cost of Scouting. Explain why donating is important and how donations are spent. Cost is $100 per Scout per year. The “Pledge” -The invitation to donate. Show the methods of how they can donate NOTE: Checks should be made out to: Utah National Parks Council

  9. Using a Smart Phone at the Door In order to save the ward time in individual entries and bank deposits, donations can be processed immediately. Entries to the new online FOS system can be made as donations. They are collected by using the URL code located on the donor card. If collected this way no further work is required at the ward level. Steps to URL Code Door Approach • Type into any web browser the donor’s unique unpc.patchfunding.com/[donor code] from printed cards. • While wearing church attire or a Scout Uniform, invite them to donate following the Pitch, Price, & Pledge format. • Enter their donation into the donation screen loaded on your smart phone. Follow instructions on the screen. You can do credit cards, e-check, cash, check, etc.

  10. Pledge Types • Limited Pledge: • Single or limited number. Single payment is for one payment. Limited number pledge limits your payments to the same amount for 12 months • Ongoing Pledge: • This option will continue until donor adjusts pledge amount

  11. Donor Recognition Keeper of the Flame

  12. Finishing Up Your FOS Campaign • All collected donations need to be entered online. We encourage you to use Smart Phone donations as much as possible to reduce the time necessary to complete this process. You can complete this process without using a smart phone without problems. • Donations need to be batched online, prepared, then taken to the bank by your ward, within 24 hours of receipt of donation (treat similarly to tithing funds). For more specific information on the patchfunding system & how to finalize donations go to utahscouts.org/FOS • Report to the Stake when FOS Campaign is complete. Remember your campaign is not complete until each individual and family has been given an opportunity to contribute. It is discouraged that wards take FOS donations directly to the Council Service Center. Their donations should be entered into the online FOS system and then taken to the bank.

  13. Gratitude in All Things “To express gratitude is gracious and honorable, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live with gratitude ever in our hearts is to touch heaven.” - Pres. Thomas S. Monson
