100th Anniversary of Scouting Newsletter - May 2010

Gamehaven Council 100 hours of Service
The 100 Hours of Service for 100 Years of Scouting campaign is well under way. Please make sure your unit is recording their service hours. To record hours go to http://tinyurl.com/100servicetracking

Each unit completing a 100 hours of service will be eligible to purchase a ribbon for their unit flag. The three units leading the council as of April 25 are:
1. Sugar Loaf Troop 57 with 45 hours of service
2. Hiawatha Troop 21 with 42 hours of service
3. Hiawatha Troop 102 with 30 hours of service


100th Anniversary Council Shoulder Patch
The design will depict the historical record of Gamehaven Council's Boy Scout camps. Do you remember the logo for Hok-si-la? Crow Wing? Kamp Kahler? Queen's Bluff? Gamehaven Scout Reservation? They will all be there. The design will be shown on the 100th Anniversary website soon!

The patches will be available from the Council Scout Shop this summer and you will be able to buy as many as you want or need. This is an official shoulder patch, so it can be worn on the uniform or kept for a collection or trading.


100TH Anniversary Parades
We know there are several people planning for your local parades, don’t keep it a secret! Email us and we will help you advertise it on our 100th anniversary website! There will be banners available for parades that can be reserved through the council office.

We will have a parade unit in the Rochesterfest parade on June 25th, and in the Blooming Prairie 4th of July parade. We would like everyone to join us in uniform and be a part of the 100th anniversary celebration.
