100 YEARS OF SCOUTING
Celebrating the Adventure ì Continuing
the Journey
Join the Boy Scouts of
America as we celebrate 100 years of Scouting adventure and continue
our journey into the next century! For 100 years, the BSA has created a
foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's
youth. Our 100th Anniversary is a milestone bigger than a single day
celebration. So, we've launched a series of programs, spanning two
years, and we’re inviting everyone in America to get involved. To
find out more and to get involved go to www.

2010 National
Jamboree
What is the National
Jamboree?
In 1916, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement,
knew what success looked like for the 10th anniversary of Scouting. It
was the sight of thousands of youth gathered together to celebrate. The
jamboree was born! In his words, “The secret of its growth lies
in that indeterminate force which we only know as the ‘Scout
Spirit,’ “ and grow it has!
Since 1937, more than 654,000 Scouts and leaders have shared the
jamboree experience and hiked the trails, paths, and roadways at 16
national Scout jamborees. Now, 100 years after Scouting reached the United States,
it’s your turn to celebrate!
Do you want to go? Or at least find out more
information? Visit the official
Jamboree website.
