100 Years of Scouting - Celebrating the Adventure, Continuing the Journey

 

National Leadership Team Update • July 23, 2009

 

Year of Celebration Patches - Now Available !

 

Beginning August 5, patches and accompanying ribbons for A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference will be available in BSA Scout Shops, including our Scout Shop located in Dothan.

Anyone can purchase the main patch emblem, but the ribbons must be earned.  Ribbons may be sold with an order form that people can print out once they’ve entered their achievements via the online form at www.scouting.org/100years. That form will be available on the web site beginning September 1st.  

The following ribbons can be earned for display on the patch:

·         Service Ribbon

·         Character Ribbon

·         Leadership Ribbon

·         Achievement Ribbon

·         Outdoors Ribbon
Boy Scout coin with approved stamp                      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We would like to encourage units to purchase a patch for each Scout and leader—then earn the ribbons throughout the celebration year and present at their unit meetings.  Council leadership members as well as Scouting alumni are encouraged to purchase a patch and earn ribbons too!

The patch requirements from the Year of Celebration page are available on the 100th Anniversary Web site.
