Rotary, Scouts Mark 100 Years of Good Turns
Published by: Christy Scroggins on March 01 2010
A longtime friend of Rotary is celebrating its 100th birthday this year: the Boy Scouts of America. The two organizations have worked together since their early days. Rotary founder Paul Harris, after meeting with Chief Scout Executive James E. West in 1910, urged Rotarians to assist in the expansion of the Scouts. By 1930, Rotarians had organized more than half of the then 500 Boy Scout Council, and today Rotary clubs sponsor 1483 Scout units for 45,528 youth.
