Century of Honor: 100 Years of Scouting in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

by Nettie Francis, Nettie H. Francis (Editor)

On May 21, 1913, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints officially affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America. Since the beginnings of that dynamic partnership, millions of youth and adults have registered in Latter-day Saint Church-sponsored Scouting units, and leaders of the two organizations have worked together to instill character, citizenship and fitness in young men. Century of 100 Years of Scouting in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints commemorates the centennial celebration of the LDS-BSA partnership, and documents significant events, people, and milestones of the past century. The book was compiled by Church and Scouting historians under the direction of the Young Men General Presidency and the LDS-BSA Relationships Director. Never before shared documents, historical photos, and memorabilia of the past 100 years are included in the 144 page, full-color, hard bound book. This history is a timely keepsake for both young and old Scouting enthusiasts.

Bittersweet in light of the very few years that remained on this story. Too bad such promise turned out to be so transitory. We can lose treasures if we don’t take proper care of them.
