largest number of recipients in the award's history. Awards for lifesaving
and meritorious actions were given to 234 Scouts and Scouters. Scouts completed
more than 214 million total hours of service for "America's Promise—The
Alliance for Youth," surpassing the four-year goal of 200 million service
hours by the end of 2000. Traditional membership, December 31, was 4,561,046.
