AMERICA'S FREEDOM FESTIVAL PATCH The Utah County Commission is pleased to announce the introduction of the Utah County America's Freedom Festival Tour Patch. The purpose of the patch is to encourage Scouts and other individuals throughout Utah County to enjoy and participate in the many events of America's Freedom Festival. The patch will be available to Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Scout Leaders, as well as any other individuals desiring to complete the requirements. The patch has three levels of requirements, one each for ages 5-7, 8-10, and 11 and over. The patch and requirements sheets are available through the Scout Shop at the Utah National Parks Council, 748 North 1340 West, Orem, Utah 84047, (801) 437-6222. Requirements for ages 5-7 Requirements for ages 8-10 (includes 11 yr. old Webelos) Requirements for ages 11 and up Commissioner Jerry Grover originated the idea for the patch and determined requirements for the patch. "My hope is that kids and adults alike will participate in patriotic events that cause us to reflect on the great freedoms we sometimes take for granted. I'm also hopeful that people will participate in the events sponsored by the Freedom Festival that are not just entertainment, but are available for active participation of Utah County people." "Our goal is to generate a new patch every year, which will highlight some event or activity in our county. We hope this will encourage young people to get involved and stay involved in their community," commented Commissioner David Gardner. "This will be a great opportunity and incentive for scouters to participate, learn, and understand more about America's great heritage," said Commissioner Gary Herbert. Updated March 24, 2005
