    As you know, next year marks the 100^th year of the Boy Scouts of America, the country’s largest youth serving program.  Each council in the country is marking the milestone with events throughout the year. One of the Burlington County Council’s events is a Council Centennial Scout Rally.  Scouts from throughout the state and neighboring Pennsylvania are encouraged to attend.  At the rally, various activities will take place such as sampling Dutch oven and scout field cooking, issuance of a 1^st day postal cover and special cancellation commemorating the Centennial, a Brown Sea Island Encampment, a bagpipe demonstration, many Scout games and activities, historical scouting displays, and scout themed vendors/crafters/artisans.

    The Burlington County Council Centennial Scout Rally will be held in the Village of Crosswicks, New Jersey. The Scouts and volunteer leaders of Boy Scout Troops 55 of Crosswicks and 112 of Jacobstown will be the hosts. The event will be held at the Crosswicks Community House and will also encompass the surrounding grounds and the village of Crosswicks. This is a rain or shine event, so please dress scout appropriately.

    We are making every effort to ensure that this event showcases scouting in Burlington County as well as New Jersey in the best possible light. Only quality activities, displays, vendors and crafts are going to be available, displayed, traded and/or sold. These items will be presented in an appropriate scouting manner. Souts are expected to wear their “Class A” Uniform.

    Scouts can attend individually with their family or with their unit. Please register online at www.bccbsa.org. Hunnikick Lodge will be there staffing the patch trading area, so stop by and volunteer with us for a while!
