The James E. West Fellowship is a national recognition for individuals who contribute $1,000 or more in cash or securities to our council's permanent endowment trust fund.
Gift should be in addition to, and not replacing/diminishing a donor's annual Friends of Scouting support
Monies contributed toward a fellowship may be in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, Scout volunteer or loved ones including non-Scouters, youth or adults
The principal from monies contributed to the Endowment Fund through the James E. West Fellowship is never spent; only the interest is used to further our council's programs and outreach
James E. West Fellows may wear this knot as recognition on their BSA uniform
