Support Robert A. Josey Scout Lodge
The historic Robert A. Josey Scout Lodge and surrounding buildings and grounds rely on the generosity of community support to enable the transformational work of Scouting America and Girl Scouts of the USA to happen in Huntsville.
Josey Scout Lodge is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and your contribution is deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Support can come in many forms, and we're grateful for contributions of all types.
Bench Sponsorship
Bench sponsorships may be placed at the Girl Scout House or at Josey Lodge and may be submitted in honor or in memory of someone.
Chilly at the Lodge
Chilly at the Lodge is our annual fundraiser. Almost always the first Saturday in February.
Where does your money go?
We never charge Scouts to use our facilities.
Many areas of chinking need to be restored or replaced.
Our current capital campaign addresses immediate maintenance and repair needs and protection for the buildings for future use.
Replace logs damaged by age and weather
Rebuild windows
Perform roof maintenance
Fresh exterior paint
Caretaker's Cabin repairs
Numerous logs are rotting.
This corner of the building is sagging.
Fresh paint will help protect the logs.
Most windows don't open and close correctly or stay open. Many windowframes and screens are damaged or missing.
We have many damaged logs.
