12 Point Scout Law Program On March 1, 2020 the Middle Tennessee Council turned 100 years old. To help celebrate this milestone throughout the year, the Council’s 100th Anniversary Committee developed many activities and events. A special program has been developed to allow unit programing or Scouts to focus on the 12 points of the Scout Law. Each Scout can decide how they will accomplish each point, and the unit will recognize them with the patch of the point they complete. This can be completed in any order. Scouts can complete specific requirements for each patch anytime between now and July 2021 and earn all 12! This program is determined by the leadership in the unit and the Scout with their family. Click here for more information. |

Northern Tier is the BSA’s oldest National High Adventure Program, outfitting Scouting groups for canoe trips since the summer of 1923. We invite all Scouts to join us in celebrating 100 years in the 2022 and 2023 summer seasons! |
