Scouting Heritage Society

The Scouting Heritage Society of Three Harbors Council recognizes the men and women who believe in preserving the tradition and values of Scouting as well as perpetuating its future for generations to come.

The council acknowledges their foresight and generosity and bestows lifetime membership to all men and women who make an outright gift to the Trust Fund for Scouting of at least $1,000 or who designate a gift of at least $5,000 to be made through a deferred gift such as their estate.

James E. West Fellowship

James E. West was the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America and he served in the position for more than three decades.

The James E. West Fellowship recognizes gifts of $1,000 or more to the local council designated to its endowment fund.   There are four levels of recognition in the James E. West Fellowship: Bronze ($1,000+); Silver ($5,000+); Gold ($10,000+) and Diamond ($15,000+). Donors may make cumulative gifts to reach Silver, Gold and Diamond levels. Gifts can be made in cash or through marketable securities.

The gift must be in addition to – and not replace or diminish – the donor’s annual Friends of Scouting support. Many individuals and corporations make these gifts either on behalf of someone else – such as in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, a retirement, a special accomplishment, or anniversary – or in memory of a special individual.
