For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth. Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will demonstrate the incredible impact of a century of living the Scout Law.

Program participants will earn recognition for making a difference in their communities due to their dedication to five of Scouting's core values: Leadership, Character, Community Service, Achievement, and the Outdoors. Through that commitment, participants can earn each of five award ribbons to display from our 100th Anniversary commemorative patch.

A Year of Celebration will take place from September 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. The program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, adult leaders, and Scouting alumni.

 

On Wednesday, September 23rd Troop 41 will launch A Year of Celebration Award Program.  We will begin by handing every Scout the base patch, which can be worn on the right pocket of the uniform.  Any adult leaders who are interested can purchase a patch for $2.11 (see Henry B.).  Every Scout and Uniformed Leader will also receive the Centennial Ring patch.  This is worn around the World Crest, which is located centered above the left pocket and below the shoulder.

 

Mrs. Y. and Mr. B. will track everyone's progress.  They will coordinate with the Scouts and Leaders to make sure there is a maximum amount of opportunities to complete the requirements for each of the aspects of the award program.  Progress will be tracked on computer and a chart that will be available for everyone to view.

 

 

Please see the attached PDF's for both the Scout and Adult requirements.  The Scouts/Adults will receive a copy with their patches.
