It's time to celebrate!  In 2005 Cub Scouting marks its 75th Anniversary.  The official celebration begins in September 2004 at the start of the new program year and will continue through December 2005.

The 75th Anniversary of Cub Scouting provides your pack an opportunity beyond that of mere celebration.  While this is a time to reflect on our achievements and our past, the event also provides an opportunity to reach toward our future.

• Use anniversary events as a recruiting tool to bring new Cub Scout families to your pack.
• Use anniversary events as a venue to identify former Cub Scouts - youth and adult - who can be brought back into the program.
• Use 75th Anniversary promotion to increase awareness of Cub Scouting in your community.  This is an ideal time to emphasize our organization's long-standing tradition of teaching values, citizenship, and character-building to our nation's youth.

Links are provided below to materials that will support your pack in promoting Cub Scouting's 75th Anniversary.  Use these items to generate excitement and enthusiasm for Cub Scouting in your community.
