Boy Scouts parade in downtown Raleigh

On February 8, one hundred (100) Boy Scouts from across North Carolina led a parade in downtown Raleigh to the State Capitol; where they met with Governor Beverly Perdue and presented the annual Report to the Governor from the Boy Scouts of America.

This year’s report carries special significance because February 8 is the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America. One Scout from each of the state’s 100 counties attended to represent their home county to celebrate its 100th Anniversary by pledging 100,000 hours of community service to worthy projects.
