Shop Amazon, support our scouts



Amazon.com has a program called “smile” through which every purchase you make from the online store can support the charity of your choice, including the Boy Scouts of America --- and, more specifically, the Iroquois Trail Council and its scouts in eastern Niagara, Orleans, Genesee, Livingston and Wyoming counties.

Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchase to the council. Sure, half a percent isn’t much. But it adds up, costs you nothing and is a great way to support Scouting.

The one-time setup takes just a couple of seconds and you get the same prices, products and service you’re used to when shopping at Amazon. It doesn’t cost you any extra.

To enroll, go to: http://smile.amazon.com/

After you log-in, there will be a spot that says “choose your own charitable organization.” In that spot type-in Iroquois Trail Council.

It will bring up Boy Scouts of America in Lockport, NY. Hit the select button.

Now, you are ready to shop and support our boys.

Please share this with your friends and families so we can maximize the donations to our scout council!
