Celebrating the Adventure ~ Continuing the Journey
Join 5,000 of your fellow Three Fires Council Scouts & Scouters as they celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scouting at Camporall. Camporall is an entire weekend of camping at St James Farm. This event is being held in conjunction with Scout-O-Rama. Scout-O-Rama is an entire day of Scouting activities, displays, games and FUN designed for Scouts of all ages, parents, siblings, and the general public to CELEBRATE, PARTICIPATE, and EXPERIENCE Scouting at its best in the Three Fires Council.
Camporall is open to all registered Three Fires Council Scouts, their units and their leaders; Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Venture Crews (NO FAMILY CAMPING!). ONLINE REGISTRATION has begun! We are limited to 5,000 campers at St. James Farm and therefore, we ask that one person from each unit do the registrations. We are are unable to accommodate siblings or other non-Scout youth. Registration will be open to other Councils wishing to participate in Camporall starting on March 1st. Use the Scout-O-Rama/Camporall Guide to assist you with your planning!

 Celebrating 100 Years - National Hall of Leadership
Leaders are those who see possibilities and inspire others to see them too. Over the past century, Scouting leaders have inspired millions of Americans to dream more, do more, and become more. They have shaped our nation’s youth by modeling Scouting virtues. And now we have a way to thank them.
The BSA 100th Anniversary National Hall of Leadership provides a one-time opportunity for you to honor and recognize a Scouting leader who positively impacted your life, or the lives of others. To be nominated, a person must be a living Scout or Scouting volunteer who may or may not be officially registered with the BSA. They must have served as an active Scout or Scouting volunteer for at least one year. A nominee may be young or old — there is no age limit — and you can submit as many nominations as you'd like.
The nomination period has been extended to April 2, 2010! One inductee will be selected from each local BSA council in the country along with one from the national office. Inductees will be announced at the BSA National Annual Meeting in Dallas in May 2010. Our country will never outgrow the need for thoughtful leadership. And, so it will never outgrow the need for those dedicated individuals who live their lives by the Scout Law and teach others to do the same. Please, take some time to tell the story of a leader who inspired you.

Celebrating 100 Years - A Year of Celebration
Earn Special 100th Anniversary Awards
A Year of Celebration – A Century of Making a Difference is an awards program developed specially for the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. There are five awards, each based on one of the five core values of the Boy Scouts of America: one for Leadership, Achievement, Community Service, Character and the Outdoors. The award is a uniquely designed patch of the 100th Anniversary emblem with slots to hold special award markers for each pillar of the program. Individuals will be able to display all earned awards at the same time on their uniforms by attaching award markers to the patch.
Each award has different requirements depending upon age. Cub Scouts have a set of requirements, as do Boy Scouts, Venturers, adult volunteers and alumni. Yes, even adults can earn awards for a change. There are five requirements for each age group for each award. All you have to do is accomplish at least three of the five requirements to earn the award. You may want to do all five requirements, but three is all that you’ll need to qualify for the award.
Awards may be earned from September 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010
The program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Scouting alumni. This program will provide every Scout, leader and alumnus a fun and meaningful way to participate in the 100th Anniversary. To join the committee, please contact Staff Adviser,
