100th Anniversary
Welcome fellow Scouters! This year is an exciting one, as we
come together to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of
America! Keep an eye on this space to find useful information
and links regarding the 100th Anniversary activities and opportunities.
To start things off, here's some information on how you can
earn the "Year of Celebration" Patch.
Centenial Quality Unit 2010
Towards the beginning of December, each unit leader was mailed information to fill out the 2009 Centennial Quality Unit Awards and the 2010 Centennial Quality Unit Commitment Form. The Centennial Quality Unit Award is a great recognition that each unit should strive to achieve. If you are not sure what this award is, contact your commissioner or your District Professional to explain what it is all about. In order to earn the 2009 award, your unit will need to fill out the paperwork and get it turned in to the Council Service Center by December 21, 2009 and a great opportunity to do this is at Roundtable! The holiday season is officially upon us, and the sooner you get the paperwork completed, the less you will have to worry about it!Support our Troops
