The Greater Pittsburgh Council serves over 58,000 youth in southwestern Pennsylvania and runs The Boy Scouts of America program in Washington, Greene, Allegheny and Beaver counties as well as the city of Pittsburgh.

The fund was designated to receive funds to support of scouting in southwestern Pennsylvania. Through the years, gifts to the fund have been received from The National Flag Foundation and the estates of Wilson A. Campbell, William K. Fitch and Cora Hubbard Williams.
