LESTER C. BLUM HONORED AS JAMES E. WEST FELLOW
There can be no finer honor paid to a Scouter than to be named a James E. West Fellow, indicating that the nominee is in the same spirit and dedication to Scouting as was James E. West. Dr. James E. West helped form the Boy Scouts of America in 1911. He served as Scouting’s Chief Executive for 33 years.
"Scouting today is the lengthened shadow of more than three decades
of the farseeing and dedicated leadership of Dr. James E. West."
Those who are recognized as a James E. West Fellow will cast their own "lengthened shadow" as they help ensure the Scouting legacy by helping create the financial stability needed to carry Scouting in the next century.
