Generations Connection (Apr. 2009 – Dec. 2010)
Generations Connection celebrates the legacy, and powerful impact, of Scouting on American families. It teaches Scouts to understand the value of their Scouting family tree and encourages first-generation Scouts to carry this special tradition forward. Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, official BSA 100th Anniversary trees are now being offered. For each one sold, another will be planted in an area newly designated as the BSA Centennial Forest in Montana. Interested in joining the committee, contact Staff Adviser, Larry Bethers at (630) 584-9250.

THIS IS SCOUTING - NEW BASIC TRAINING COURSE
Required for all leaders wishing to be basic leader trained. - "This is Scouting" was added to the BSA's on-line Learning Center on March 15, 2009. "This
is Scouting" replaces New Leader Essentials as required course for
Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing volunteers to earn the "Trained"
leader emblem. All Scouters are encouraged to create a MyScouting account and access this training through the MyScouting portal, as credit for this training will be recorded in their training record upon completion. - Note:
If you have already taken the former New Leaders Essentials course, it
will still qualify for this general orientation segment of your basic
training.
