Figures revealed that donations dropped so low in the nation's largest Boy Scouts of America local council — the Orem-based Utah National Parks Council. It left the officials with only one option: layoffs.
"We're substantially behind what we've done in the past," Stan Lockhart, volunteer president of the council that serves 90,000 youth, said about its annual Friends of Scouting fundraising drive. That began in September and will continue through the end of the year, but the bulk of contributions usually comes early.
