Scouts Celebrate their 100th Anniversary
|
Throughout 2010 Scouts across the U.S. will celebrate Scouting’s 100th anniversary. That’s 100 years of helping build the character, integrity, and leadership skills of America’s youth. Hitting the hundred-year mark is a great achievement for any for organization, and it shows you’re doing something right. The five key principles that guided Scouting 100 years ago are the same principles that we live by today … leadership, character, community service, outdoors adventure, and achievement. Another milestone reached just last year was the awarding of our two millionth Eagle Scout, and only about 2% of Scouts nationwide achieve that distinction. The next hundred years begins with our focus clearly on youth. Like the Scouts who came before, today’s young Scouts will grow to become our next presidents, astronauts, athletes, educators, business and community leaders. Our nation needs … and will always need … thoughtful, responsible leaders to guide our communities and help our young people. Today’s Eagle Scouts will be well prepared to meet tomorrow’s leadership challenges. |
