Ten Ways You Can Get into the
Action!
1. Join the 100th Anniversary
National Leadership Team.
Gain access to
YourSource and e-mails with
anniversary news and events. Even get
updates on your phone by texting "Scout"
to BSA100 (272-100).
2. Enroll as a Scouting alum
... and ask others to do the same.
We're reaching out to Scouting alumni
and friends and inviting you to make a
new connection at
www.BSAalumni.org.
3. Nominate your Scouting
hero.
The
BSA 100th Anniversary National Hall of
Leadership recognizes everyday
heroes — leaders who help youth overcome
challenges, Scouts who guide others
along the trail, mentors who set the
path for success. Deadline February 8th!
4. Plant a tree. Grow a
legacy.
Discover and celebrate your Scouting
roots with
Generations Connection. Buy a
BSA 100th Anniversary tree from the
Arbor Day Foundation, and another will
be planted in a BSA Centennial Forest.
Use our
tree planting ceremony for a fun
unit event.
5. Get that anniversary
patch!
Scouts, volunteers, and alumni dedicated
to Scouting values can earn five awards
to hang from the centennial patch
through "A
Year of Celebration, A Century of Making
a Difference."
6. Join the adventure.
A fully interactive campus with games,
demonstrations, and even a traveling
museum! You don't want to miss
Adventure Base 100 on its more than
40 stops across America.
7. Get in the Game!
We're using this high-tech treasure
hunting game to recruit new members. Set
up a unit
geocaching activity, and have Scouts
invite friends to discover the
adventure.
8. Take us out to the
ballgame.
In Fall 2010, we're working with Major
and Minor League Baseball teams for
"Pitch for Scouting" days at the
ballpark. Make sure your unit is part of
the action.
9. Shine a light on Scouting.
On July 31, 2010, the entire Scouting
family will join together for the first
time in history as a national broadcast
from the Jamboree joins with
celebrations across America. Plan or
participate in "A
Shining Light Across America" group
viewing event!
10. Spread the word.
Write a letter to your local paper, post
a message in your Facebook profile, and
tweet the news about what your unit is
doing or why you feel Scouting is
important.
