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
| February 4, 2010 | From the Road |
| WEEKEND!!! The snow & ice storm are behind us now as we wake up in Wellington, KS and begin our travel to Durant, OK. Evidence of the effect of the storm is all along the roadways. We pray that no lives were lost and the communities will recover with minimal damage. It's difficult for these areas to handle large amounts of snow & ice because it's relatively rare and they don't have enough large equipment to deal with the icy/snowy road conditions. Durant KOA is like a posh hotel. Wonderful facilities with laundry rooms, very comfortable showers, a game room and access to internet, a wide-screen TV (even got the chance to see the last of the Wings' game!) Much neded R & R for all of us. Saying good-bye to January!!! Monday, Feb. 1, Two stops today both in TX. First was Paris (no we didn't make a wrong turn.) NeTseO Trail Council welcomed us with a lovely display (thanks for your attention to details and for the delicious homemade cookies!!!) and a very impressive flag ceremony by several of the local scouts. Great job fellas - you really looked sharp. Wonderful to see so many scouts able to attend as well as many adult scouts and scouting friends. Second, was Texarkana and the Caddo Area Council. It was a simple presentation and was well covered by the media. We spent that night right at the council. Tuesday, February 2 We travelled to El Dorado, AR and presented at the DeSoto Area Council. It was our first presentation tight in the scout chop. But Rob Lavoie, the SE, was very happy to have us felt good that we could easily adjust to the small space he had available. This council had some interesting Rockwell prints and some marvelous photographs of their own scouts in action - enlarged to poster size and then proudly displayed on the walls. We've traveled another 100 miles or so to arrive in Monroe. LA for a presentation at Louisiana Purchase Council. SE Eddie was a very gracious host and has many plans for his council for the centennial celebration including planting trees throughout the council. For this he has a very special shovel - 1 of only 3 from National - which will be used for each planting and then be returned. How fun!!! Submitted by Nnacy, Frank, Dennis, Sha |
