Scouting's 95th Anniversary - 2005

Scouting Anniversary Unit Plans

We have had a phenomenal response to the request for this year's 95th Scout
Anniversary Activities.  11 Packs and 13 Troops have sent our District their
plans.  That is almost 60% of our 41 Packs and Troops.

If your unit is not planning an event, please encourage your youth to attend
their home church or one of the below events, in their Scout uniform.

At the Round Table on February 17th ribbons will be awarded to all units
participating in a Scout Anniversary activity.

Please include in your counts the Scouts who participate with other units at
other activities, as all count toward the participation award. Additional
forms will be available at the Round Table.

We would like to see every unit qualify!
