The Year of Celebration Awards
Your scouts may have earned the patch for their rank already, but don't let the fun stop. Check out the Year of Celebration Awards that is ONLY available during this special 100th Anniversary year.
There are 5 award ribbons to it, and you earn each by fulfilling 3 out of 5 requirements. Sounds like a lot? Don't worry, the boys have until the end of 2010 to accomplish them and chances are, they have already accomplished one or two.
These awards are also open to adult leaders and alumni. So if you were ever part of BSA's 100 years of history, don't miss this opportunity to commemorate it and show your pride.
