For 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth. The 100th Anniversary in 2010 is a milestone in Scouting and is bigger than a single day's celebration.  Your local Council, along with National,  have planned many activities for this celebration during 2010.  You are invited to participate in as many of these events as possible, and the many activities that the National Council, Boy Scouts of America, are having next year.  We have made an attempt here to put that information here  to help you in your planning for your unit's celebration of this great year.

• On Monday, February 8, 2010, your Cubs and Scouts could raise the flag at their school, giving the Pledge of Allegiance and rededicate themselves to the Scout Oath or Cub Promise.
• Schedule a Centennial Reunion Blue and Gold banquet, Troop Court of Honor, dinner, pot luck supper, etc. in February, researching and inviting former Cubs, Scouts, Leaders, Adults, Eagle Scouts, etc. to be a part of this celebration.
