Next February marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America, however the celebration is about to begin. The Century of Values Tour is helping all Boy Scout councils throughout the United States kickoff their local celebration of 100 years on Scouting’s role in character and leadership development. On Tuesday, May 5, a 32 foot colorfully decorated Coachman motor home will arrive at the Staunton Mall to present local Boy Scout representatives with a framed anniversary mural.
