Century of Values  

Century of Values VanBeginning on February 8, 2009 through February 8, 2010, fourteen road teams of dedicated Scouters will be traveling throughout the United States of America. Their mission is to visit every Boy Scout Council in the United States.

The teams will be celebrating Scouting’s 100th anniversary by thanking our local Councils for their professional service to the youth of their communities. Every Council Scout Executive will be presented with a special framed Centennial portrait (24" x 36"). This year-long road journey will cover 45,000 miles while making over 350 scheduled stops. This is our way of thanking the Scout leaders of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
