A Year of Celebration will take place through
December 31, 2010. The program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, adult leaders, and Scouting alumni.

Program participants will earn recognition for making a difference in their communities due to their dedication to five of Scouting's core values: Leadership, Character, Community Service, Achievement, and the Outdoors. Through that commitment, participants can earn each of five award ribbons to display from our 100th Anniversary commemorative patch.

When finished with the requirements, record them online, submit your information and print the order form and bring it to the Scout Office to purchase your ribbon.

“My family and I are excited about moving to North Carolina and becoming part of the Old North State Council family” Carpenter stated. “I am also looking forward to working with our great volunteers to help insure that Scouting continues to thrive and grow in the Piedmont Area.” Carpenter further stated.
