100 Years of Scouting

Today's presentation was from the Boy Scouts of America, celebrating 100 years. Derrick Larson, District Executive for the BSA presented to us. Derrick gave us an overview of the BSA history and current organization. He educated us on how each troop needs to sponsored by a chartered organization and in Utah most troops are sponsored by an LDS ward. The Exchange Club could be a sponsor of a scout troop and one of the clubs in northern Utah has done this. The upcoming events for the BSA are:

Dixie Scout Expo: April 10, 2010, at the Dixie Center

Largest Eagle Court of Honor: July 3, 2010, at the Stadium of Fire, Lavell Edwards Stadium Provo, UT (go Cougs!)

National Scout Jamboree: July 26 - August 4, 2010, at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia

Found some BSA images I thought some of you might enjoy.
