Boy Scouts of America (BSA)

Boy Scouts of America operates the BSA Commingled Endowment Fund, LP to manage assets supporting scouting programs nationwide. The endowment includes the 140,000-acre Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico and the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in West Virginia valued at $340 million. Additional holdings encompass the Northern Tier bases in Minnesota and the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base. Investment activity centers on venture capital through commitments such as Greycroft Growth IV alongside public equity strategies in domestic and foreign common stocks. The portfolio also contains oil and gas mineral rights across 17 states and a Norman Rockwell art collection valued above $60 million. All positions are held directly or through BSA Asset Management, LLC. The organization maintains the National Boy Scouts of America Foundation for donor-advised funds and major-gift support. Recent asset sales of 100 local council parcels generated $44 million for the Scouting Settlement Trust. Roger Krone serves as President and Chief Executive Officer while Brad Tilden acts as National Chair. BSA functions as both program operator and asset owner with direct control over real property and mineral rights that support its core activities rather than external manager mandates.
