 A Year of Celebration Patch
In February 2010, the Boy Scouts of America will celebrate 100 years as an organization. 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. As we celebrate , we not only reflect on our rich history, but lay the foundation for a strong future, as well.
Cub Scouts 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 Cub Scout requirements for earning the ribbons are here.
Program Objectives:
- Provide every Scout and Scouter a fun and meaningful way to participate in the 1OOth Anniversary and earn recognition!
