During our centennial, we honor the enormous impact made by a century of living by the Scout Oath and Law. By showing dedication to five of Scouting’s core values, Scouts, leaders and Scouting alumni can earn a 100th Anniversary commemorative patch. Those values are: Leadership, Character, Community Service, Achievement, and the Outdoors.
Hall of Leadership: This is a one-time opportunity to recognize and thank Scouts, their leaders, and Scouting volunteers (both past and present) for the extraordinary differences they make in the lives of others through their leadership. Generations Connection: Celebrates the legacy, and powerful impact, of Scouting on American families. It teaches Scouts to understand the value of their Scouting family tree and encourages first-generation Scouts to carry this special tradition forward. Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, official BSA 100th Anniversary trees are now being offered. For each one sold, another will be planted in an area newly designated as the BSA Centennial Forest in Montana.
Alumni Connection: We’re inviting our alumni to come back, make a new connection, and get involved with Scouting programs once again. At www.BSAalumni.org, Scouting alumni can find friends and mentors, add photos and stories to the growing BSA 100th Anniversary Online Scrapbook, and more! Anyone who is, or ever has been, active with the BSA is invited – from former Scouts to the millions of Scouting supporters across America.2010 Jamboree:One night during the National Jamboree, we will use virtual hookups to broadcast “A Shining Light Across America.” This amazing stage show will both transmit out and bring local participation back in from a few select locations across the country. It will mark the first time in our history that the entire Scouting family has come together for a single, nationwide opportunity to celebrate and reflect.
Pitch For Scouting: Major League Baseball is joining the BSA to celebrate our 100th Anniversary in major and minor league ballparks across the country. From the first pitch to the last out and everywhere in-between, Scouts will be on the field and involved in the game. Emphasizing fun, fitness, and family, this program celebrates the heritage and shared values between both organizations. Adventure Base 100: We’re traveling across the country to give people an exciting, hands-on view of the history and future of the BSA. Rolling into cities across America, Adventure Base 100 unfolds into a 10,000 square foot campus of immersive Scout-related experiences with hands-on digital exhibits, a multi-sensory IMAX-like dome, and much, much more!
