In 1887 in Denver , religious leaders founded the Charity Organizations Society, the first United Way, which planned and coordinated local services and conducted a single fund-raising campaign for 22 agencies.  Today there are more than 1,400 local organizations across the country.

The Northern Lights Council is a participating agency in the United Way.  We are grateful to the thousands of individuals at businesses who support Scouting through these United Way organizations.
