James E. West Fellowship

James E. West Fellowship - Scouting America

James E. West Fellowship
James E. West was the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America. He served in that position for more than three decades. Many individuals and corporations make gifts to our council endowment. Often these gifts are made on behalf of someone else—such as in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, a retirement, a special accomplishment, an anniversary, or in memory of a special individual.

To Become a Fellow
A gift to our local council, designated by the donor to our council endowment fund, qualifies for membership as a James E. West fellow. The gift must be in addition to— and not replace or diminish—the donor’s annual Investment in Character & Leadership support. A minimum gift of $1000 in cash or marketable securities qualifies for the Bronze level membership. Gifts can be paid in full or spaced out over a period of up to 5-years. Additionally, 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.

Application Process
The donor fills out the James E. West Fellowship Application and returns it directly to the local council or the donor can submit this form. Both pledges and payments can be made via this online form.

Recognition
Once payment of the gift has been received in full, our local council will request the appropriate James E. West recognition items from the National Organization and present them to the donor. New James E. West Fellows are recognized annually at our Council's Recognition Banquet held in April.
