100 Year Celebration of the Boy Scouts of America

This past weekend, the Boy Scouts of America celebrated 100 years in America with a jamboree celebration held at the Washington County Fair Grounds. Bradley C. Harr & Associates was pleased to help sponsor this event and help provide backpacks which each Boy Scout received as part of their participation.
The jamboree started at 1:00 in the afternoon, during which time a video feed was shown of the International Space Station. The video was made earlier in the day as the space station flew over Washington County. Senator Warren Hatch prepared a brief video message which was shown to the Scouts as well as the President of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Thomas S. Monson. Throughout the course of the day, there were Scouting activities and vendor booths for the Boy Scouts to participate in.

On the Cub Scout side, there were over 2,000 Cub Scouts and their leaders who participated in the event. The Cub Scouts are easy to spot as the shirts they received, rather than backpacks, were blue and yellow. They learned about chivalry, made shields and swords, and participated in a mock battle.

Closing ceremonies were held in the outdoor arena of the Washington County Fair Grounds. TMINUS5, a local all vocal group performed for the Scouts. After approximately 45 minutes of entertainment and address on the value of Boy Scouting and this great Country that we live in, there was a huge fireworks display, which was sponsored by local businesses.

Part of the celebration included the Scouts completing 100 good deeds to celbrate the 100th anniversary. If a scout accomplished their 100 good deed they got a commermorative patch. Many hard working scouts accomplished that worthy goal.

Bradley C. Harr & Associates was thrilled to help sponsor an event celebrating a wonderful organization within this great Country we call the United States of America.
