George Finch Memorial Eagle Project Fund
Mr. Finch earned his Eagle Scout Rank in 1953. Throughout his life he was a strong supporter of the Scouting America Program, from Scouts' early development of skills through the pinnacle of the program by earning Eagle Scout Rank. To support Scouts working towards Eagle Rank, the Finch Family developed this fund in memory of George Finch to provide funding for Eagle Projects.
A Scout must first secure final approval of his or her Eagle Project Proposal from the Beneficiary, Scoutmaster, and Council.
*The application for the George Finch Memorial Eagle Project Fund can only be submitted to the Scoutmaster for review and approval after all other approvals have been completed.
