CAMP HIAWATHA -- Since 1910, more than 110 million boys have grown up as Boy Scouts of America.  This week at Camp Hiawatha in the Munising area, several hundred boys are growing physically, mentally and morally in the open air of the Upper Peninsula.

"A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent," says Mike Alberts of the Hiawathaland Council, reciting the Scout Law.

And nature is their classroom.  This week at Camp Hiawatha, 250 Scouts from across Upper Michigan and as far south as Detroit are learning the outdoors, everything from geology to swimming to riflery.

The Boy Scouts of America are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, and Scouts from all across the USA are heading to Virginia later this month for their Centennial Jamboree.

"It is hosted at Fort A.P. Hill, where they will be doing a number of different activities," Alberts explains.  "They have exhibits from universities and different areas, as well as climbing towers, repelling, experiences in scuba diving, snorkeling, boating, fishing."

One hundred years strong, and most things remain the same.  The Scout Oath still teaches boys that they have a duty to God, country and self.  Camping is still big in the scouting world, and earning merit badges is still a right of passage, even if the awards have changed a bit over the years.

"Nowadays, we have more merit badges relating to the use of the Internet and modern technology," Alberts says.

The Digital Age joining hands with the Stone Age to shape boys into men:

"There's really nothing to lose, and there's so much to gain from it," says Eagle Scout and Unit Commissioner, Nicolas Winkler.  "Whether you're in the program for a couple years and you just learn basic Scout skills, or if you're like me, you just love it."
