Celebrating 100 Years - National Hall of Leadership

The National Hall of Leadership is a one-time opportunity only during the 100th Anniversary to honor and recognize Scouts, leaders and any living person who has served as a Scouting volunteer for the extraordinary difference they have made in the lives of others through their leadership. Nominations will be in the form of stories submitted online for judging. These entries will provide councils an electronic database of stories from individuals explaining how the service of youth and adult leaders in your council made especially meaningful and significant differences in the lives of others. To be nominated for the National Hall of Leadership, the nominee must be a living Scout or Scouting volunteer who may/may not be officially registered with the BSA. They also must have served as an active Scout or Scouting volunteer within Scouting for at least one year. A nominee may be young or old — there is no age limit for nominees. Nominations will be submitted online in the form of a story and must be 450 words or less. Nominating period opens February 8, 2009 and closes February 8, 2010. Judging will then begin for the final inductees who will be announced at the BSA National Annual Meeting in Dallas in May 2010. Nominations can be submitted beginning February 8, 2009 at: www.Scouting.org/100years
