Leave a Legacy and Support the Endowment Campaign to Strengthen Scouting’s Future.
The growth of the endowment fund makes it possible for Scouting to fulfill its expanding mission to reach more young people. The endowment has been built up over time by gifts from generations of Scouts, parents, and friends who felt a deep commitment to Scouting, Please join us by becoming a James E. West Fellow or Second Century Society member.
A gift to a local council, designated by the donor to the council endowment fund, qualifies for membership as a James E. West fellow. The gift should not replace or diminish the donor’s annual Friends of Scouting support. A minimum gift of $1000 in cash or marketable securities qualifies for the Bronze level membership. Donors may make cumulative gifts to reach Silver, Gold, and Diamond member levels. For example, 5 years of giving at the Bronze level would qualify for Silver level membership.
Many individuals and corporations make these gifts either on behalf of someone else – in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, a retirement, a special accomplishment, an anniversary, or in memory of a special individual.
Bronze Member Level: $1,000
Silver Member Level: $5,000
Gold Member Level: $10,000
Diamond Member Level: $15,000
The Second Century Society is designed to meaningfully foster the relationship between you and Scouting.
