100 Events

I think for the anniversay, councils (depending on size) could try to do things that emphasize the 100's theme.

Councils could celebrate by having 100 rededications in the center of 100 town during Scouting anniverary week (being done by local packs/troops).

They could have 100 service projects done in a week-long time-frame.

100 campouts could be done in local parks on the same weekend...like a camporee in 100 locations.

100,000 hours of service could be done throughout the year.

Any other ideas?

If you are planning an anniversary activity that fits with using a “100’s” theme, it is a fine way to draw an imaginative connection between what you are doing and the 100th anniversary. Go for it!

To get the most from 100th anniversary activity planning and implementation efforts – take some time to view the 100th Anniversary Update power point and materials found in the Local Council Planning section on the Planning Materials page of YourSource. It will show you how to lead your volunteers in developing and implementing anniversary celebration activities that are fun, inspiring, help grow membership, and attract more volunteers and financial supporters. Get truly worthwhile returns on the time invested.

Any questions on what you find there – contact me!

Good idea....how about 100 "Scouts Honor" awards, like the 1000 points of light program? Each council could identify 100 top people in the community who were Scouts or are involved in Scouts and recognize them as leaders.

Great idea! We're planning on doing service for 100 miles of trails.

How about "100 Good Turns for 100 Great Years" We are doing a program where the Scouts (all programs) and adult volunteers record 100 Good Turns in a promotional flyer they receive with a tshirt (to market the program) - when they submit their completed brochure they will receive a 100th Anniversary commemorative coin. The council will record the final accounting on GTFA site.
