Since being chartered in 1923, the Buffalo Trail Council of the Boy Scouts of America has served generations of West Texas youth, including Midland natives, President George W. Bush and General Tommy Franks. Now - more than ever – the principles and program of Scouting are not only relevant, but also compelling to our society. The Scout Oath itself manifests an uncompromising standard of good citizenship in home, community, our nation and the world. In 2003, the Foundation awarded a grant to the Council to support initiatives to reach minority youth with Scouting opportunities. The Foundation also administers a permanent endowment fund for the Council.
*These funds have been established since the publication of the Foundation’s last annual report.
Permian Basin Area Foundation administers a number of other funds the donors to which have requested anonymity.
Funds of the Foundation are open to additional tax-deductible contributions. We also welcome the opportunity to visit with donors about creating new component funds for charitable purposes.
