Boy Scouts of America Wants to Hear From YOU!
April 25, 2009
Boy Scouts of America Wants to Hear From Past and Present Scouting Families
In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, the Generations Connection program has been developed to honor the powerful force of Scouting on American families. Many individuals have found that involvement in Scouting made their family better and stronger.
Circle Ten Council is inviting Scouting families, both past and present, to share their family experience with Scouting through the Generations Connection section of www.scouting.org/100years. Click on “Sharing Your Generational Scouting Family Story.” Families can share their stories and print a personalized BSA 100th Anniversary Generational Scouting Family certificate. While on the Web site, they can learn more about how to order an official BSA 100th Anniversary tree from the Arbor Day Foundation to plant in a special location!
The BSA is looking for Scouting families who capture the heart of the Scouting movement, and can help to showcase the Generations Connection program. Log in today and share your story!
Celebrate 100 Years of Scouting’s Impact on Families
Nearly every youth experiences Scouting with members of their family. Scouting provides the opportunity to strengthen ties between family members, create great family memories, and develop a shared family foundation of worthwhile virtues and values. The 100th Anniversary Generations Connection program celebrates Scouting’s legacy and its positive impact on American families through a program centered on the enduring symbol of the tree.
By visiting the Generations Connection section at www.scouting.org/100years, you will find fun and meaningful outlets for participation in the program. Explore your Scouting family tree, share your family story, or, thanks to an exciting partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, plant an official 100th Anniversary tree … to help grow a new BSA Centennial Forest. Visit the Web site and learn more today!
For 100 years, families throughout the country have realized the powerful benefits that participation in Scouting brings. Help us honor this legacy, and commit to supporting 100 more years of strong youth and families!
The Boy Scouts of America and the
Arbor Day Foundation Partnership
The 100th Anniversary provided a unique opportunity to bring together the BSA and the Arbor Day Foundation around a program centered on the symbol of a tree – the Generations Connection program. The two organizations have much common ground to stand on. Part of being a good Scout and citizen is practicing sound environmental living and conservation of natural resources. Scouts’ inherent interest in the outdoors, coupled with their commitment to public service, means thousands of hours each year are dedicated to protecting, restoring, and appreciating the fruits of the environment. And, many local and regional Scouting units have already successfully partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation on localized projects. The Generations Connection program provided an opportunity to expand on already successful partnerships with a national-scale tree-planting program.
Partnership Details
The Arbor Day Foundation has designated region-specific 100th Anniversary trees that are available to all. (See “Information About 100th Anniversary Trees” document.)
For every 100th Anniversary tree purchased through the Arbor Day Foundation, a corresponding tree will be planted in the newly created BSA Centennial Forest in Montana. The forest will aid replanting in the Flathead National Forest after recent fires.
Both organizations will share information about the partnership through their information networks.
The ultimate goal of the partnership is plant as many trees as possible to beautify and enrich environment with living legacies of Scouting’s powerful tradition of strengthening families.
