HERITAGE SOCIETY

The Seneca Waterways Council, concerned with perpetuating Scouting for future generations of young people, has established The Scouting Heritage Society. Its purpose is to recognize those special friends who have made a commitment to our endowment trust fund, either through a bequest in their will, or by some other form of gift. Those making a gift become lifetime members the Scouting Heritage Society.

  • List Seneca Waterways Council Endowment Fund as a beneficiary to your Life Insurance Policy
  • Donate stock (or other marketable securities) to create a gift annuity
