Program Concept: We want every Scout, adult leader, and Scouting alum to have the chance to be a part of our biggest milestone yet - our 100th Anniversary Celebration. We want to fire up the passion for Scouting while giving everyone an opportunity to make a difference - and earn recognition. Individuals can earn awards by demonstrating dedication to five of Scouting's core values - Leadership, Achievement, Community Service, Character, and the Outdoors.

ACHIEVEMENT - Achievement in Scouting builds self-esteem and fosters collaboration with others.

COMMUNITY SERVICE - Scouting's contribution to society is most visible in the movement's commitment to community service.

CHARACTER - Scouting is a character-building enterprise.

OUTDOORS - From campouts to High Adventure, Scouting happens outdoors.

LEADERSHIP - Scouting has a proud tradition of producing great leaders.

• Provide every Scout, leader, and alumnus a fun and meaningful way to participate in the 100th Anniversary and earn recognition.

• Help build stronger local council and unit ties through an exciting and easy-to-use celebration program.

• Increase awareness of Scouting's value to the nation by promoting A Year of Celebration activities and by sharing the participation outcomes.

• Engage individuals in fun activities and reward their contributions to Scouting -- helping improve both Scout and volunteer retention.

• Spark conversations about Scouting's values, history, and programs -- for both positive public awareness and Scout and volunteer recruitment. The more people talk about Scouting, the more they will want to join in!

• Increase overall participation in our 100th Anniversary Celebration by working closely with other national engagement programs.
