You can celebrate the 100th anniversary of scouting by purchasing a BSA Centennial Tree from the Arbor Day Foundation . The two- to four-foot-tall Centennial Trees are $20, and for each tree purchased, the Arbor Day Foundation will plant a tree in the Flathead National Forest which has been devastated from recent wildfires .
If your pack is like mine in presenting a new Boy Scout Handbook to the fifth-grade Webelos Scouts at your pack graduation ceremony , you will have a pretty cool-looking book to give them in 2010. This is the cover of the upcoming Centennial (12th) Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook (designed by enventys ).
27 Vote On Idea Has the Boy Scouts of America considered making a presentation to the Smithsonian of a very special Boy Scout item or items for display in 2010? This could be on loan to the Smithsonian or given permanently to the institution to commemorate our 100th anniversary.
2 Vote On Idea Simply make contact with Orange County Choppers. Ask the OCC team to work with 1 volunteer, 1 professional, and Michael Ramsey (National Staff) to design a 100th Anniversary Chopper. This would be great publicity for OCC & the BSA.

4 Vote On Idea I love the old TV ads that ran encouraging boys to join Scouting. It would be a great bit of nostalgia to re-air some of these ads as a "Happy 100th Birthday" salute campaign. Comments (0) Category/Tags : 100th Anniversary (20) Mark as duplicate
0 Vote On Idea I am constantly being asked "where do my patches go on the new uniforms?" This is especially relevant to the "Trained" strip and the Commissioner's Arrowhead. I've seen Trained strip in multiple locations... on the arm pocket flap, under the pocket, over the pocket.
