Meet the Teams!
Welcome
Beginning 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.

News from the Road
| July 3, 2009 | From the Road |
| As our campfire fades away, softly falls the light of day. Silently each scout should ask, have I done my daily task? Have I kept my honor bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done, and have I dared, everything to be prepared? The closing campfire at Hidden Valley Scout Ranch had us laughing, cheering, celebrating, singing, and soaking in the week of scout spirit. We as well, upon the embers of our last stop, are nearly to extinguish the fire of team six, the Brave Lobsters. We said farewell to our teammate Rob this night. We will certainly miss his stories of adventure, his jovial and inviting attitude, and his ability to find three hundred solutions to any problem. Our day at camp was pretty low key. Although there was an old Indian Order of the Arrow member who joined our crew for awhile. Then the families arrived for the last day of camp. We presented the mural to the Camp Director and Council President in front of a large crowd of about 200. Scouts and scouters were, as always, inspired by our visit and purpose. Some even asked if we could encourage their sons to make the final push from life to eagle, and we shared wisdom as best we could. We are packed and ready to roll tomorrow. Submitted by ACOV RV |
