Mr Finch earned his Eagle Scout Rank in 1953. Throughout his life he was a strong supporter of the Boy Scout Program - from the early development of scouts and their skills through the pinnacle of the program in the earning of the Eagle Scout Rank. In an effort to support scouts as they work towards their Eagle Rank and specifically through their Eagle Scout Project, the Finch Family- in memory of George Finch- has developed this fund. The George Finch Memorial Eagle Project Fund provides funding for Eagle Projects. Scouts may submit their application to their Scoutmaster FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL after securing final approval of their Eagle Project Proposal from their Beneficiary, Scoutmaster, and Council.
