Scouting’s original founder, Lord Robert Baden-Powell, lived by an interesting motto: “We only have a short time to live, so we must do things that are worthwhile, and do them now.” To ensure that the values of Scouting endure and our program is well-funded, we will grow our endowment during the 100th Anniversary celebration with a unique recognition program for those that donate to our trust fund.
