The Youth Backpack Program
Each year YMOS provides each of the Maryland Ornithological Society (MOS) chapters with a backpack to be distributed to a deserving youth in their area. Each chapter decides how to award the backpack. The backpack contains binoculars, field guides, a lens pen, and free membership to a local MOS chapter for the year.
