Scoutmaster Stang Assistance Fund

The Scoutmaster Stang Assistance Fund was founded in 2020 to celebrate the life of Former Scoutmaster James (Jim) Richard Stang who passed away on January the twenty-sixth 2020. The sole purpose of the fund is to spread the joy of the Scouting BSA program by assisting underprivileged youth and adults eligible for registration as a youth, with removing some of the financial burden related to completing the trail to Eagle. Simply put, this organization is to assist those who would otherwise not be able to attend the life changing activities that the Scouting BSA program provides. Please donate what you are able to to support this wonderful fund. If you know of a Scout, a youth, or adult that would benefit from a scholarship from the Scoutmaster Stang Assistance Fund please contact us at [email redacted] to request the appropriate scholarship application.   About our namesake: Vigil Honor Member & Eagle Scout James Richard Stang, son of Eagle Scout Richard Stang; grandson of Eagle Scout Leo Stang; father to Eagle Scout Adam James Stang, Eagle Scout Timothy James Stang, and Vigil Honor Member & Eagle Scout David James Stang; and Grandfather to potential future Eagle Scouts Cecily Rainier Stang, Eloise Irene Stang, and Daisy Alice Stang; passed away among his family on Sunday January the Twenty-Sixth Two Thousand and Twenty C.E. at 5:15 CST after suffering a stroke on Tuesday January the Twenty-First.
