New Centennial Awards Now Available
Posted by admin under: centennial .
One of the other topics brought up at this month’s Roundtable meeting was that Scouts can begin to earn the centennial awards that Dan has so thoughtfully posted about at ScoutingNews.org. So, I’ll let him explain.
A Year of Celebration – A Century of Making a Difference officially kicks off today! A year of Celebration – A Century of Making a Difference is an awards program specially developed for the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America for all Scouts, adult volunteers and Scouting alumni.
The award consists of a main patch, which is patterned after the official 100th Anniversary emblem, with five additional awards represented by 2″ ribbons from the patch. Program participants 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. Individuals will be able to display all earned awards at the same time on their uniforms by attaching award markers to the patch.
Awards may be earned as of September 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010.
There are five requirements for each age group. All you have to do is accomplish at least three of the five requirements to earn the award. You may want to do all five requirements, but three is all that you’ll need to qualify for the award. You can download the requirements from the National BSA website at http://ww2.scouting.org/100years/100years/sitefiles/1000/

Fleischman-Hillard is a company that the national council is using to manage some of their communications. A nice lady from the company asked me to let you all know about the 100 year celebration that Dan referenced above. So, I hope you all give it a click.

It’s important to note that Fleischman-Hillard is new to managing Scouting public communications. They had the account for the U.S. Army and some will say that they didn’t do a good job communicating the importance of the Army to the public when they had that account.
