Happy 75th Birthday, Cub Scouting!
Cub Scouting will mark its 75th anniversary in 2005. The celebration—with the theme "75 Years and Still Having
Fun!"—actually begins in September 2004 and continues through December 2005, with the official birthday observed during
Scouting Anniversary Week, Feb. 6-12, 2005 (which also marks the 95th anniversary of the Boy Scout of America).
Activities will be held throughout the program year at the council, district, pack, and den levels. Local BSA councils
have been provided with ideas for a wide variety of events and activities to share with districts and packs, as well as suggestions
for publicizing them and obtaining maximum media coverage.
In addition to a special anniversary celebration at the blue and gold banquet in February, packs are urged to plan a community
service project or other anniversary event.
