Dear Friends of Scouting,
 

I’m Carlo Laurore, Senior Vice President and Interim Chief Development Officer for the Office of Development. I am pleased to introduce myself and express my sincere gratitude for the relationships you have established with Chasity and our team. She valued these connections immensely, and I look forward to continuing our partnership. 

 

As Scouting America celebrates 115 years of serving youth in our nation, this is an exciting time to reflect on the inspiring contributions and successes of Scouts—from small acts of kindness to life-changing achievements. We deeply appreciate the invaluable support of our donors, which has been instrumental in allowing Scouting in America to thrive for over a century. 

 

In this Scouting Anniversary edition of Infinite Pathways, we explore the many paths to success forged by Scouts, thanks to your generous support. Each story illustrates how Scouts are growing in confidence, honing their leadership skills, and cultivating a deep commitment to helping others—paving infinite pathways that inspire significant positive change and leave each place better than they found it. 

 

Thank you for being a cherished member of the Scouting family. Your belief in our mission empowers Scouts to inspire stories, enrich their lives, and make a lasting positive impact on society—a shared legacy we create together. 

 

Yours in Scouting,

 

Carlo Laurore, CFP® CHFC® CLU® RICP® AEP® CFRE CAP®
