BSA National Pike District

Scouts, adult leaders, and Scouting alumni: Rediscover Scouting’s impact on America through through the Year of Celebration activities and a series of awards that explore core Scouting values.  Earn our 100th Anniversary commemorative patch!

Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will do just that.  Individuals can earn awards by demonstrating dedication to five of Scouting’s core values—Leadership, Achievement, Community Service, Character, and the Outdoors.  Participants can earn one award in each category. The program will be both fun and engaging and, most important, will show America the impact of Scouting through its commitment to these values.

The program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Scouting alumni.

Additionally, the BSA has also teamed up with some great organizations to offer unique 100th Anniversary service projects that can apply towards your Year of Celebration Service award. These national opportunities will truly show what Scouts can do when they band together towards a shared goal.

A Year of Celebration will be in effect from Sept. 1, 2009, through Dec. 31, 2010.
