invited to attend the “A Century of Values” Tour News
Conference! This “A Century of Values” travel team will be here to help kick off our 100th Anniversary celebration with a 20 to 30 minute news conference. Please let us know if you’re planning to attend. Contact John Fortini.
What is the “A Century
of Values” Tour? "If you are going to celebrate a 100th anniversary, do it in a big way." That's the philosophy of six adult volunteers from Michigan who will be visiting the Knox Trail Council Service Center during a unique 45,000 mile, year long road trip, helping all Boy Scout councils throughout the United States kickoff their local celebration of 100 years on Scouting's role in character and leadership development. Dubbed "A Century of Values", the road journey teams launched their official kickoff in Laingsburg, Michigan on February 8, 2009. The caravan is winding its way across the country, scheduled to end in Irving, Texas at the National Boy Scout Museum on February 8, 2010, the 100" anniversary of Boy Scouting in America. Fourteen teams will rotate driving the 45,000 miles in a 32 foot colorfully decorated motor home donated by Coachmen Industries. At each of the 300 plus council stops, team members will present local Boy Scout representatives with a framed 24" by 36" anniversary mural and help kickoff local centennial events. The mural depicts famous individuals, places and events in Scouting history. It was created by professional illustrator and Eagle Scout, Bill Morrison who has done design work for Disney and Hollywood animation studios.
