Celebrating 100 Years - A Year of Celebration

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.

For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for America's youth. Through A Year of Celebration, we celebrate this legacy and commit ourselves to inspire and prepare future generations.

This year Troop 19 will actively be involved in celebrating the BSA 100 Year Celebration.  Mr. Lorenzo will be the coordinator of activities and will be sending out reminder notices of upcoming events.  Please note on the calendar that the Troop will be in several parades as part of the celebration.

To the left is a very cool patch that each Boy Scout, Venture and Leader will receive and of course we have requirements to be completed that will earn ribbons that are placed on the patch.

To earn these individual ribbons each scout will complete three of five requirements, some of these we will complete as a troop and others will be completed individually. When each ribbon requirements has been completed, you must notify Mr. Lorenzo to receive credit.  Click here to see all of the requirements provided by the BSA.
