James E. West Fellowship Award Knot

James E. West was the first chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, and he served in that position for more than three decades. The West Fellowship Award is available for gifts of $1,000 and up in cash or marketable securities to the council endowment fund. 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.

If an institution is truly "the lengthened shadow of one man", it is more than fitting that the Boy Scouts of America honor James E. West's significant contributions to Scouting in such a significant way.
