The 1910 Society

The 1910 Society was named in recognition of the year when the visionary early leaders founded the Boy Scouts of America, which was patterned after a fledgling - but popular - Scouting program developed in England by Sir Baden-Powell.

Individuals or organizations that contribute $25,000 or more to the Central New Jersey Council's endowment fund are honored in this prestigious group. Members receive a leather-bound edition of the Boy Scout Handbook, distinctive pin, and framed certificate. We salute Central New Jersey Council's 1910 Society members for perpetuating Scouting's future through their generosity.

Should you have any questions, please call Ken Hardy, the Central New Jersey Council Director of Development Services at (609) 419-1600 ext. 21 or email him at khardy@bsamail.org.

The Founders Circle

The Founders Circle is intended to recognize deferred gifts designated for the Central New Jersey Council endowment fund. With deferred giving so widely and effectively used by so many donors, the Boy Scouts of America wants to recognize the importance of such major gifts. Donors are recognized for gift commitments with a minimum value of $100,000.

Should you have any questions, please call Ken Hardy, the Central New Jersey Council Director of Development Services at (609) 419-1600 ext. 21 or email him at khardy@bsamail.org.
