The endowment was established to provide a permanent
source of income to Scouting. Gifts to the endowment
fund are placed in a permanent trust. Individuals may
make outright gifts or planned gifts, such as a will
or gift annuity, where the council will receive the proceeds
at a later date.
 James
E. West Fellowship
The James E. West Fellowship Award recognizes individuals
who have contributed $1,000 or more to the council's
trust fund. Those who are recognized by the James E.
West Fellowship Award provide continued support to the
Cape Cod & Islands Council as they help ensure the Scouting
legacy for future generations of young people and create
the financial stability of the program in the twenty-first
century.
The James E. West Fellowship Award is available to all
with an interest in providing for the future. A brochure
is available from the council service center.
 Scouting
Heritage Society
As part of our Endowment Development
Program, the Cape Cod & Islands Council has created an organization to
perpetuate scouting. Membership in this group is available
to those altruistic men and women who have included the
Cape Cod & Islands, Boy Scouts of America in their
wills, or have made a planned endowment gift or an outright
gift available to the Council.
There are various levels of giving within the Society and all members
are recognized for their thoughtful generosity at the annual Recognition
Dinner. A full color brochure is available from the council service center
describing membership levels and methods of giving.
Memorial/Tribute Fund
The Cape Cod & Islands
Council tribute fund provides a permanent way to support
Scouting, while at the same time providing a memorial
or recognition
to an individual.
Gifts are often given as memorial, but may also honor individual accomplishments
(Eagle Scout, birthdays, etc.).
Gifts to the tribute fund are placed in the Council endowment to provide
a permanent source of income to the Scouting program. Donors are recognized
and acknowledgement is sent to the family or recipient of the tribute.
A permanent record is maintained of the memorial/tribute fund.
