Memorial Gifts and Tributes

Many people appreciate opportunities to express their feelings toward others. Scouting can play an important role in providing these recognition opportunities in its community. A gift to the Pennsylvania Dutch Council’s Memorial/Tribute Endowment Fund is a thoughtful way to express respect, gratitude, and sincere affection. Your gift honoring a loved one, friend, and others in times of sadness or joy will enrich the lives of the thousands of youth served by our council.
