Memorial/Tribute Fund

Words too often inadequately express the sentiment we feel at the death of a friend or the joy we feel when a friend is honored with a special recognition. No finer tribute can be paid than to encourage a boy to live the life of a scout and this perpetuate the high principals you admire in your friend. A contribution to Lake Huron Area Council Memorial/Tribute Fund is the perfect tribute. It will be put in trust so that it continues to give in perpetuity.
