The Louisiana Purchase Council, Boy Scouts of America is looking for all alumni of the Boy Scouts. Whether you participated for one year or numerous years as a youth, adult, or supporter, the Council wants to reconnect with you. Later in 2010, the Council will host a large alumni event.

“With every element of this important milestone, we’re committed to inspiring, engaging, and empowering our entire Scouting community,” said David Sorrell, Scout Executive. “Scouting alumni are a big part of that. We would like them to come back, make a new connection, and take an active role in Scouting again.”

When Scouting alumni visit www.BSAalumni.org, you will gain access to a host of new alumni programs. You can search for old Scouting friends and mentors, upload photos and stories to an online scrapbook, and learn how they can get involved in 100th Anniversary activities and events. You will even be able to do something that, for the past 100 years, only active Scouts could do—earn a series of commemorative patches.

“The goal of the BSA Alumni Connection program is to have the people whose lives have been positively impacted by Scouting demonstrate their dedication and commitment to the next generation of Scouts,” Sorrell said. “This is their opportunity to impact the next century of Scouting.”

If you are, or know, a Scouting alumnus, visit http://www.BSAalumni.org. BSA alumni are invited to reconnect with others, rekindle Scouting memories, and reengage with the Boy Scouts of America
