Celebrating 100 Years of BSA - Earn YOUR Patch!

100 Years of BSAEarn Special 100th Anniversary Awards! A Year of Celebration – A Century of Making a Difference is an awards program developed specially for the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. There are five awards, each based on one of the five core values of the Boy Scouts of America: one for Leadership, Achievement, Community Service, Character and the Outdoors. The award is a uniquely designed patch of the 100th Anniversary emblem with slots to hold special award markers for each pillar of the program. Individuals will be able to display all earned awards at the same time on their uniforms by attaching award markers to the patch.

Each award has different requirements depending upon age. Cub Scouts have a set of requirements, as do Boy Scouts, Venturers, adult volunteers and alumni. Yes, even adults can earn awards for a change. There are five requirements for each age group for each award. 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.

Awards may be earned from September 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. This program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Scouting alumni. This program provides every Scout, leader and alumnus a fun and meaningful way to participate in the 100th Anniversary.
