Centennial Scouting on the Mall (July 23 - August 8, 2010) Be part of the showcase of All Things Scouting, situated on the National Mall between the Washington Monument and the World War II Memorial. This will be a continuous  16 day presence in which our very own Scouts will demonstrate every aspect of Scouting in the Nation's Capital, including Scout craft, merit badges, camping, service projects, and geo-Scouting. We will be joined by Adventure Base 100, the National BSA touring adventure show. Adventure Base 100 began its national tour at the Tournament of Roses in Pasadena, California, on New Year's Day.  This edition of Scouting on the Mall will be the longest, continuous Scouting presence on the National Mall in the history of the Boy Scouts of America!  It all started right here in Washington, DC on February 8, 1910.  For more information check out the Centennial Scouting on the Mall page.

Grand Centennial Parade (July 25, 2010) Everyone loves a parade...especially when it's for you!  From a historical prospective, nothing comes close to this except for the first National Jamboree in 1937. That was when President Franklin Roosevelt reviewed 27,000 Scouts who lined both sides of Constitution Avenue for three miles! On the day before the opening of the 100th Anniversary National Jamboree, our Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, and Explorers will be joined by Scouting units from all around the country to form a BSA Grand Centennial Parade on Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC. There will be floats, marching bands, balloons, horses, historic uniforms, lots of flags, and thousands of Scouts marching and reviewing!  Visit the Centennial Parade page for more information.
