A Scout is Helpful, and the people of Japan need our help. Several options exist for individuals who wish to make a financial contribution toward general disaster relief. The American Red Cross and the Salvation Army let donors designate their funds for tsunami recovery efforts.

Those of us in the Scouting community may wish to send funds to our brothers and sisters in the Scout Association of Japan. James S. Turley, international commissioner of the BSA, addressed the donation process in an open letter to BSA Scouts and Scouters.
