Generations Connection

Was your grandfather a Cub Scout, mom a Den Mother, uncle a Merit Badge Counselor?  Or are you the first in your family to go down the Scouting trail?  No matter what your Scouting legacy, we invite you to celebrate your family with the 100th Anniversary Generations Connection program.

Whether you're first-generation or part of a Scouting family legacy, Generations Connection provides fun, meaningful ways to reinforce the value Scouting brings to individuals and families. 

Visit the BSA 100th Anniversary Generations Connection website for information and activities, including:

Share Your Family Story!  Tell us about your family.  Print a special (and free) BSA 100th Anniversary Generational Scouting Family certificate!

Trace Your Scouting Ancestry  Download a Generations Connection Family Tree!  Fill in names and—if you can find it—something special about that person's Scouting experience.

Plan a Family Celebration  Order your official BSA 100th Anniversary Tree from The Arbor Day Foundation.  Plant it together as a family, as a lasting memory of your commitment to Scouting.  You can also make or order a tree marker to designate its importance.

Create a Group Activity  Are you a Scout leader?  Whether at the unit, district, or council level, you can build fun Generations Connection activities that inspire Scouts and their families.
