Today is the 100th anniversary for the Boy Scouts of America
100 YEARS OF BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
This week marks the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Congratulations to one of our country’s strongest and longest running organizations.
It was was founded by Chicago publisher William Boyce on February 8, 1910.
The Boy Scouts of America was designed to teach young men of our country how to be great contributing members of our society. They continue to accomplished this through organized activities such as camping; fishing; hiking and an endless list of other outdoor events. They help to educate the boys through community events as well. You will find it hard to find an area or a weekend where there are no Boy Scout troops doing some sort of project or fundraiser for the community. The Boy Scouts continue to teach young men skills necessary to succeed and plan for college through academic programs and scholarships.
Countless young men have learned about honesty; integrity; trustworthyness; good citizenship and the importance of helping other people. This has been done with great success. The Boy Scouts of America have produce great leaders and thinkers in our world.
