Donate

The Lawrence L. Lee Scouting Museum and Max I. Silber Scouting Library have grown through six decades largely due to generous contributions of time, talent, and funding from volunteers and patrons. As a non-profit organization, we must continue to rely on Scouting public and corporate resources to continue to grow and thrive. It is often the case that older generations of Scouts and Scouters pass on, and families do not want or do not know what to do with uniforms, patches, or other artifacts personally collected through the years.

Describe what you have by category: clothing, patches, camping gear, books, etc., and itemize item(s) as practical.  Please include information on its provenance (history):  who it belonged to, when it was used, and the reason for donating it now.  Be sure to include your contact information:  name, address, phone number, and e-mail.

We ask that every donor submit their request using our Artifact Donation Form below. Please print your confirmation email and include it with your delivery so that we can accurately understand the source of donations, their provenance, and give proper credit where due. When donations duplicate items already part of the collection, we will display the better quality item and often sell duplicates as a fundraiser.

PLEASE DIRECT ALL INQUIRIES ABOUT DONATIONS TO OUR CURATOR, BEFORE DONATING: curator@scoutingmuseum.org
