February 2010 will mark 100 years of Scouting and the BSA are partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to create a lasting legacy for the this centennial celebration. Throughout the remainder of this year and all of next year special tree plantings will link the roots of Scouting with contributions to the future by the planting of family trees as well as trees in public places.
Even after the 100 year celebration these trees will stand as a living legacy, serving the earth for years to come.
As part of this partnership, Arbor Day Foundation will provide educational tool kits to each of the 302 local councils throughout the nation. Scouts will be encouraged to plant 100th anniversary trees in their yards as a family activity. Scouts, alumni and the general public can order special ‘Centennial Trees’ through a convenient online site at http://www.arborday.org/boyscouts. For parks and street tree plantings, scouts are encouraged to work with local nurseries to obtain large caliper trees.
If you’re den is looking for a project, this is a great one.
