Fillmore Scout Troop 406 will host a celebration of the Centennial of Boy Scouting in the United States on Tuesday, September 28th at the Scout House starting at 6:00 p.m. All scouts, from any troop, past and present, are invited to be guests for the evening and share their favorite memories, enjoy a “Scout Meal” and a slide show before the campfire ceremony to retire several American flags concludes the day.

This event is open to the public and anyone interested in the scouting program. Additional parking will be open behind the Scout House located at the east end of Sespe Avenue in Fillmore.

Anyone having memorabilia or pictures to display should call Brett and Coleen Chandler, 524-5058. The pictures will be added to the CD to create a slide show of memories and be returned to you.

This will also be an opportunity for prospective Cubs and Scouts to see some of the history of local scouting, so come for a preview of activities, pictures, dinner and a campfire. Registration forms will be available for both Cubs and Scouts.

The local Historical Society and Museum also has a display of old scout items and registrations from the time scouting was initiated in Fillmore. You are invited to stop at the Museum to view them.

Fillmore has always had a strong Boy Scout program dating from the early 1900s and continues to support this worthwhile organization. Everyone is invited to this community event. Please RSVP to 524-5058 by Sept. 25th.
