GSMC Scouting Blog
Welcome to the Great Smoky Mountain Council Scouting Blog. Discussions on this blog will be limited to scouting issues, topics, and information. Views expressed are those of the authors. This is not an official GSMC site.
It is finally here! The celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Scouting has begun. The events will continue all year. Scout week, celebrated each year in February, will be filled with Scouting events across the country. Many churches celebrate Scout Sunday with special recognition of scouts in the congregation.
Many organized national activities will be supplemented by local and regional events, so the advice to all was to stay informed. The national website, www.scouting.org, will allow leaders to keep up with national events but the local council site, www.gsmc-bsa.org and The Scouter newsletter, should be used to monitor local events. In addition, a local website, www.everythingscouting.org, has been developed by the GSMC 2010 Celebration Committee to distribute information about the local activities.
One upcoming event, a special 2010 Centennial Scout Service and Celebration, will be held at REDEMPTION CHURCH in Knoxville, Tennessee on February 6, 2010 beginning at 6:00 p.m. This event will celebrate the scouting centennial through an interfaith service will include prayer, drama, multimedia presentation, and a keynote speaker. We will honor the history of Scouting and those who have been influential in our success. A major element in this program will be a parade of flags. Each unit is invited to provide one Cub Scout, Boy Scout, or Venture Scout to participate by carrying their unit flag.
