James West Memorial Award

Requirements

This award is presented to individuals based on a contribution of $1000 or more to the local Council's West Fellowship Fund. Only registered Scouters or youth members receive and wear the square knot.

The money may be given by a group of Scouters or individual Scouter to honor a fellow Scouter, as a memorial on the death of a Scouter, or to recognize an achievement. The award can also be given to an individual who makes a contribution on his/her own behalf. Regardless of the source of funding, the award is used by BSA to generate funds to support critical local Council and national programs.

Contributors receive special invitiations to local Council and National West Fellowship Dinners, special publications, and a certificate in addition to some local Council plaques and other items.
