Boy Scouts of America Celebrates 100 Years

Celebrate 100th Anniversary of Boy Scouts of America

The Boy Scouts of America is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with over four million youth members in its age-related divisions. Since its founding in 1910 as part of the international Scout Movement, more than 110 million Americans have been members of the Boy Scouts of America.

The history of scouting in the US began in 1909 when Chicago publisher W. D. Boyce was visiting London, where he encountered the Unknown Scout and learned of the Scouting movement founded by Lord Robert Baden-Powell. Soon after his return to the US, Boyce incorporated the Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1910. Edgar M. Robinson and Lee F. Hanmer became interested in the nascent BSA movement and convinced Boyce to turn the program over to the YMCA for development in April 1910. Robinson enlisted Seton, Beard, Charles Eastman and other prominent leaders in the early youth movements. In January 1911, Robinson turned the movement over to James E. West who became the first Chief Scout Executive and Scouting began to expand in the United States.

With the organization of the Boy Scouts of America in 1910, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints organized the MIA Scouts a year later and became one of the first sponsoring organizations of scouting in 1913.

2010 Boy Scouts Commemorative Coins

Commemorative silver dollars celebrating the centennial start of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) are slated to be launched by the United States Mint in 2010. Several designs for the coins were created, submitted for review, and the following two were selected for the obverse (tails side) and reverse of the silver dollar:No official release date has been set yet, but February 8th is considered the day of founding for the organization, and the legislation approving the coin stipulates sales cannot begin until February 8, 2010. They may be sold until January 1, 2011, although many expect the coins to sell out long before then.

Pinewood Derby

Dremel Pinewood Derby® Days Car Demonstrations at Lowe’s start tomorrow! Don’t miss it.

The Dremel Pinewood Derby® Days program is an annual collaborative effort amongst Dremel, Lowe’s and the Boy Scouts of America that aims to provide you, the pinewood derby enthusiast, with a single source for all of the materials and know-how you need to create a winning derby car you can be proud of – regardless of your skill level. Dremel, Lowe’s and the BSA are committed to make your Pinewood Derby® a success!

Building a top-notch derby car has never been easier or more enjoyable. Take a look around this site for car-building ideas and speed tips, help in designing a stunning derby car, and the supplies and tools you need to complete a one-of-a-kind car that is truly “built for speed”!

Again, if you need any help with Dremel products during your derby construction project, don’t hesitate to give the Dremel Experts a call (1-800-4-Dremel) – in fact, you can consider them your Pinewood Derby “pit crew”!

To learn more about scouting, visit www.scouting.org to find out more.

In honor of the BSA’s 100th Anniversary, though, today’s generation of Scouts will get the unique opportunity to experience some of the activities their predecessors enjoyed. That’s possible thanks to the BSA’s new Historical Merit Badge Program, a set of four discontinued merit badges that today’s Scouts can earn.

Boys can earn any or all of these merit badges:
Signaling
* First offered in 1910 and discontinued in 1992.
* Sample requirements: build a simple buzzer or blinker capable of sending Morse code messages, and send a message of at least 35 words; send and receive messages using semaphore flags at a rate of at least 30 letters per minute.

Tracking
* First offered in 1911 (as Stalker merit badge) and discontinued in 1952.
* Sample requirements: recognize the tracks of 10 different animals; give evidence to show you have tracked at least two different kinds of birds or animals, documenting their speed and direction.

Pathfinding
* First offered in 1911 and discontinued in 1952.
* Sample requirements: be able to guide people to important places within a three-mile radius of your home; submit a scale map of your community.

Carpentry
* First offered in 1911 and discontinued in 1952.
* Sample requirements: demonstrate the use of tools, such as a miter and bevel; build a simple piece of furniture for use at home.

Sounds like a blast, right? But there’s one catch: Boys must start and finish all requirements within the year 2010. So if your guys built furniture for their patrol kitchen at last year’s summer camp, they can’t use that product for the Carpentry merit badge. And don’t delay—after Dec. 31, 2010, these merit badges will go back on the “retired” list.
