To help maintain its affordability, Scouting needs endowment funding. Endowment is one of the best ways to ensure that councils can continue to offer their outstanding programs and grow to meet the needs of youth and communities. Through endowment, councils develop a degree of self-reliance and establish a solid foundation of financial support for their operating and capital budgets.  Cash, securities, property, charitable trusts, bequests, and other deferred gifts are just a few of the types of endowment donated to the Boy Scouts of America each year.

Every year, the greatest challenge to a successful endowment campaign is identifying and educating people about endowment opportunities that support Scouting.  The Southern Region is committed to help councils meet that challenge, developing relationships and effectively communicating the benefits of endowment.
