Boy Scout Day The Founders of the Boy Scouts The Mission & Vision Statement In 2010 the Boy Scouts celebrated their 100th Anniversary by converging on Washington D.C. Unfortunately, for our family, we ended up there the same week. SIGH . Every national monument, museum, etc that we wanted to go to was overtaken by Boy Scouts, 50,000 of them.  Because of them we didn't get into the National Archives, a Spy Museum, the Holocaust Museum, and a few other places. It was incredibly frustrating. Many stayed at the same hotel we did and the breakfast every morning was literally overrun with boy scouts.  Needless to say the boy scouts have made us a little bitter. :) Kite Flying Day Not quite sure why this holiday is held in February where the chances of flying a kite in the northern hemisphere are little to none, perhaps this is a southern hemisphere holiday!
