Eagle in Flight

The Bay Area Council has developed an endowment fund to support Camp Karankawa and the council service center. The endowment fund is permanent with the annual earnings being used for property improvements, capital needs and annual operations.

The Eagle in Flight program is an opportunity for parents of Eagle Scouts to give a lifetime honor to their son, or for current Eagle Scouts to name themselves as an “Eagle in Flight” recognition recipient. Additionally, any interested person may honor someone with this lifetime recognition (such as a Scoutmaster, community leader or long-time Scouter.)

Participation is easy - Simply complete the form below and return it to Bay Area Council, BSA, 3020 53rd Street, Galveston, TX 77551, with your contribution of a minimum of $1000. You may also make a pledge to be paid over the current year.

As recognition, each “Eagle in Flight” recipient will have his/her name displayed on the “Eagle in Flight” Eagle base at the council service center in Galveston and Camp Karankawa plus be named as a James E. West fellow.
