There is a national photo contest going on in celebration of the upcoming Boy Scouts of America centennial. But this isn’t just your normal national photo contest. Winners of this photo contest will actually have their entries printed in a new book to be published in October 2010.
The book, called Boy Scouts of America: Today, is to be published by DK Publishing, Inc. DK Publishing has published many BSA books including Boy Scouts of America’s Be Prepared First Aid and the Complete Wilderness Training Manual. Their newest book will visually depict the 12 points of the Scout Law: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Winners will receive a copy of Boy Scouts of America: Today and a $50 gift card for official Scouting merchandise to be purchased through Scoutstuff.org or any participating Scout shop.
The Boy Scouts of America: Today photo contest began on January 12, 2010; all entries must be received by March 21, 2010. Entries must depict any or all of the 12 points of Scout law, and be representative of Scouting activities. The Scouting events pictures must have been taken within one year of the entry date.

This is a great article! We hope many people will submit pictures to the new book. The benefits of Scouting resonate throughout the Scouter’s life, helping in relationships, careers, hobbies, emergency situations, and education.
We are the Hoosier Trails Council in central Indiana. Local councils around the country have lots of great events planned during this centennial year.
Support the Boy Scouts as we celebrate 100 years and continue the journey for another 100!
