Boy Scouts Plan 100th Anniversary

DALLAS (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America, about to turn 100, have turned to one of their own as part of a marketing campaign to celebrate the anniversary and try to reverse a membership slide.

A logo designed by Philip Goolkasian, a 17-year-old Eagle Scout fromFresno, Calif., was picked from more than 4,000 entries for anniversary events.

The 100th anniversary is still two years away. It will be marked at the 2010 Jamboree
in Fort A.P. Hill, Va. — the quadrennial event was pushed back a year to coincide with the anniversary.

Scouting officials expect the event to draw 100,000 Scouts and visitors, and they plan to arrange satellite feeds to beam the proceedings around the country to boys who can't make the trip to Fort Hill.

Satellite feeds? Nobody told me anything about satellite feeds!
