In February 2010, the Boy Scouts of America will celebrate 100 years as an organization. Founded as an outlet to prepare every eligible youth in America to become a participating citizen and leader, BSA has more than fulfilled its mission. Today, as we celebrate our first 100 years, we not only reflect on our rich history, but lay the foundation for a strong future, as well.

Visit www.scouting.org/100years for a wealth of information on the 100th Anniversary events. Examples of events are alumni connection, Scouting for Food, geocaching, Time Capsule, Blue and Gold ceremonies, Jamboree and more.

Scouting for Food

Official kick off is February 27th. Collection bags will be handed out to all units starting at this time.

Units will have the month of March to pass out the bags and retrieve them filled with non perishable

boxed and canned food items. Please no glass. March 27th is the actual collection day.


New Health and Medical Form

Based on input from individual Scouters, the Order of the Arrow, local Councils, health and safety and risk management committees, and high-adventure bases, there was confusion on when to use any of more than 20 different health forms in use across the nation. There was also an immediate need to update a medical form for the 2010 National Scout Jamboree. The Health and Safety Committee took on the challenge and the opportunity to establish one Annual Health and Medical Record for all ages and known risks. It is simple and yet comprehensive enough to be used for both health and wellness evaluations as well as emergency situations.

The National Eagle Scout Association has established the Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award to recognize valuable service of an exceptional nature by a Scout to a religious institution, a school, community, or other entity. The award recognizes the Scout for his Eagle Scout service project, which is part of the requirements for earning the Eagle Scout Award. Each local council will choose a council-level winner, and from that pool each region will pick a region-level winner. From the four regional finalists, an overall winner will be selected.
