Have you heard about the  BSA 100th Anniversary Celebration National Logo Contest?   The winning design will inspire the national symbol for this important BSA milestone. ALL registered Scouts are eligible to enter and every Scout who participates will receive a patch and certificate in recognition of his or her effort. The overall winner will receive an all-expense paid trip to San Francisco to work with renowned graphic artist and Eagle Scout  Kit Hinrichs  as he finalizes the logo design.
