BSA-100A_FullColor034250For 100 years, the BSA has created a foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth. In honor of this milestone, Eastern National Parks headquartered in Fort Washington PA has hired art270 to design a new patch commemorating the event. Scouts will need to visit a series of ten National Parks sites in 2010 to earn their unique anniversary patch and in the process learn about our national heritage and natural resources. The patch design was created by John Opet.

case studies

Hostilities began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a US military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. His election resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union, which Lincoln and his administration viewed as a rebellion.
