Boy Scouts of America Centennial Trees
From their first days in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has built character and values-based leadership qualities in America's youth, and provided a platform for strengthening families. And, as a core tenet of Scouting, Boy Scouts have practiced responsible environmental living and conservation of natural resources throughout their existence. Everyone can join in the Boy Scouts of America's 100th Anniversary celebration through the purchase of a Boy Scouts Centennial Tree. As part of the 100th Anniversary Generations Connection program, join Scouts all over the country as they plant "living legacies" of Scouting's commitment to supporting youth and their families. For just $20, you can buy a striking 2 - 4'-tall Centennial tree to nurture for generations to come! For each newly purchased tree, we will plant another tree in the Flathead National Forest where recent wildfires have destroyed native seed sources. As those trees grow, they will shelter hundreds of wildlife species, prevent soil erosion and runoff, and generate oxygen for our environment. As an incredible bonus, for every 100th Anniversary tree purchased, the Arbor Day Foundation will plant a corresponding tree in the newly created Boy Scouts of America Centennial Forest. The Centennial Forest will aid in re-planting the Flathead National Forest in Montana after recent fires. |
