Endowment Giving

AMES E. WEST, the first Chief Executive Officer of the Boy Scouts of America. He was instrumental in establishing the juvenile court system as well as the public playground system. With the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, he organized the first White House Conference on the Care of Dependent Children.
West knew that, to be prepared for the future, the youth of his day needed guidelines to live by and to share with their peers. He took the principles of Scouting developed in England by Robert Baden-Powell and during 30 years of service, made a fledgling organization into the leading youth movement in the United States.
