El Tour de Tucson is a 501(c)3 non-profit that rides to support charities, community, health and wellness. Since 1983 more than 100 local, national, and international non-profit charities have raised over $101 million for their own organizations and causes.

The local Boy Scouts of America (BSA), Catalina council, is partnering with El Tour again this year as a fundraising event for the local council. This event enables Scouts of all levels to actively participate in a large local community outdoor activity in addition to raising money that will support Catalina Council Programs.

Additionally, for those Scouts working on merit badges, participation in this event can earn bike riding requirements towards the Cycling merit badge.

Our mission is to deliver fun and exciting experiences, through strong scouting units, which build better young people through outdoor adventures that develop character.   The event enables scouts to earn credit to the cycling merit badge, actively participate in a large community event and raise funds for the Catalina council.
