Celebrating the Adventure - Continuing the Journey
Celebrating the impact that 100 years of Scouting has had on the
lives of millions needs more than a single date on the calendar.
So, the Boy Scouts of America has launched a series of national
and local programs that span two years. And they're inviting
everyone in America to get involved.
Join the 100th Anniversary National Leadership Team. Gain access to YourSource and e-mails with anniversary news and events. Even get updates on your phone by texting "Scout" to BSA100 (272-100).
Enroll as a Scouting alum ... and ask others to do the same. We're reaching out to Scouting alumni and friends and inviting you to make a new connection at www.BSAalumni.org.
Nominate your Scouting hero. The BSA 100th Anniversary National Hall of Leadership recognizes everyday heroes — leaders who help youth overcome challenges, Scouts who guide others along the trail, mentors who set the path for success. Deadline February 8th!
Plant a tree. Grow a legacy. Discover and celebrate your Scouting roots with Generations Connection. Buy a BSA 100th Anniversary tree from the Arbor Day Foundation, and another will be planted in a BSA Centennial Forest. Use our tree planting ceremony for a fun unit event.
Get that anniversary patch! Scouts, volunteers, and alumni dedicated to Scouting values can earn five awards to hang from the centennial patch through "A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference."

BSA Coins If you didn't have a chance to purchase the 2010 BSA Centennial Proof Silver Dollar from the US Mint - they are now sold out. However, they are for sale at The Coin Broker, in Palo Alto. The Silver Dollar is beautiful, and it comes in a very nice velvet gift box. It costs a little more than advertised previously through the Mint ($49.95), but you don't have to pay shipping. I understand the owner of the store has helped many a scout earn the coin collecting merit badge.
