2019 Spring Endowment Celebration

July 8, 2019 by Barb Perez

National Capital Area Council, Boy Scouts of America welcomed nearly 50 recipients of the James E. West Fellowship Award on June 1, 2019, for their 2018 contribution at the annual re-dedication of The Alice S. Marriott Patio and The Robert and Dee Leggett Endowment Garden. The audience listened intently as Scouts exhibited their public speaking abilities earned through public speaking merit badges with finesse some adults would be envious of!

Craig Poland, Lieutenant General Rice, Forrest Horton

The keynote speaker was Eagle Scout, Lieutenant General L. Scott Rice, Lieutenant General Rice is a long time Scouter having served in his sons’ troop together with his wife Nancy. He spoke of the importance of Scouting and the continuity Scouting allowed his family as they traveled throughout his military career.

NCAC is proud to recognize those who contribute at the James E West level over three consecutive years, NCAC Fellows are setting an example of giving that goes above and beyond. NCAC Fellows receive a special council shoulder patch and a council necktie/scarf. The newest honorees are:

It was an exciting honor and privilege to welcome past Council president Hugh and his lovely wife Cindy to the Second Century Society. The Second Century Society recognizes outright gifts of $25,000 or more payable over five years, or deferred gifts of $100,000 or more, to a local council, BSA foundation, BSA high adventure base, or any BSA entity for operating, capital, or endowment needs.

John Mosby Russell

This year we added an additional award to specifically recognize planned giving efforts in the National Capital Area Council. The first recipient of this award is our most senior and active Eagle Scout in National Capital Area Council John Mosby Russell, thank you John Mosby Russell from over 57,000 Scouts in the National Capital Area Council for choosing to leaving a legacy.
