Consider the great investment opportunities: gold, real estate, stocks and bonds, and BOY SCOUTS. Yes, the Boy Scouts. Other investment opportunities lose their luster, their value declines according to the whims of an unpredictable market. But the worth of the Boy Scouts never declines — it is an investment that always appreciates and always pays dividends because Boy Scouts invest in people.

Since 1910 the Boy Scouts of America have been teaching young people fundamental lessons in life, and developing enlightened, responsible citizens by instilling the timeless values of trustworthiness and loyalty, helpfulness and friendliness, cheerfulness, courage and kindness. Yet like all good investments, the Boy Scouts need contributions now to reap a golden harvest in the future.

The Endowment Fund is one of the three funds of local Scouting:  the other two are Operating and Capital. Gifts can be made to the Endowment Fund through several methods, such as the James E. West Award, Scouting Heritage Society, 1910 Society, and the Boy Scouts of America Founders Circle.  Each of these programs have specific requirements for donations.   To make a gift to one of these funds, you may download an application or you can make a donation online.

Endowment emphasis and stewardship is one of the five critical issues of the Boy Scouts of America. Realizing that the future of Scouting is dependent on a sound financial foundation, the development of an adequate endowment fund is vital to the long-range fiscal stability of a local council.
