WILLS - WILL YOU BE READY? The night sky is clear and bright. You look up at the stars as you sit in front of the embers of a dying fire. The Scouts and other dads have turned in for the night, leaving you alone with your thoughts. You have been with the Scouting program for a long time now. You've seen the difference it can make in the lives of boys and families. Your thoughts now turn to what Scouting would be like in the future. What it could be like. The answer is as clear as the night sky itself. With thoughtful planning and a commitment to the future of Scouting on your part and on the part of many other Scouting families this great movement will continue to grow and flourish. One way you and your family can support your local council's need for an endowment is to name the trust fund of the Council as a beneficiary in your will. A bequest to your council's endowment can take many forms. You can leave a specific item or amount of cash. You can leave a residuary gift, distributing to the council part of what's left over after all your other bequests have been distributed. Or you may leave a percentage of your estate to Scouting.
