Are you looking for a meaningful way to recognize a fellow Scout? The James E. West Award is one of the most honored and sought after awards, recognizing a Scout for their service and accomplishments.
Named after the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, it is a national recognition for those who contribute $1,000 or more in cash or securities to the Hoosier Trails Council endowment fund. This money is kept in an interest-bearing account. The interest from this account is used in our yearly budget to support local Scouts.
In this way, your Eagle Scout is contributing back to this program, and supporting youth years after he has moved on. Because of this support, he can be assured the program will be there to support them.
To receive a James E. West Award - please pick up an official application at the Council Office, or contact us to have one sent to you.
We only have a short time to live, so it is essential to do things
that are worthwhile and to do them now.
-- Lord Robert Baden-Powell
