2007 marks a very special year – the
Scouting
Centennial. To celebrate, we’ve organized a year
full of events and activities for everyone in the
community to enjoy.
But we’re not just celebrating locally. Starting August
1, 2007, Scouting Groups across the world will join in
for a full year of festivities. And some activities will
even continue beyond the anniversary year.
So come help make this year the most memorable,
100 times over.
Every Scout loves earning badges. With that in mind, a Centennial Crest has been designed to mark this very special year. Segments, which go inside the Crest, can be earned by the youth simply by participating in the outlined event and activities. click here for details!
