"In February 2010, the Boy Scouts of America will celebrate 100 years as an organization. Founded as an outlet to prepare every eligible youth in America to become a participating citizen and leader, BSA has more than fulfilled its mission. Today, as we celebrate our first 100 years, we not only reflect on our rich history, but lay the foundation for a strong future, as well.

There are several programs that the BSA national office is hosting and that we here at the East Texas Area Council will carry out here locally. In addition, each of the six ETAC Districts will be incorporating their own impactful celebrations into their annual events such as Mom & Me, Dad N Lad, District Banquets, and more."
