Built Here: America at 250 is a storytelling series, researched by students at Miami University, that celebrates the people, places, and moments from the Tri-State that helped shape America.

Most people don't realize that the Boy Scouts of America have roots in Cincinnati. Daniel Carter Beard and the movement he started has taught generations of kids adventure, leadership and service.

Liberty in Action: 250th Anniversary Challenge

Creative Expression
The Creative Expression component invites Scouts to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary through art, speech, performance, or media. Whether designing a commemorative patch, delivering a speech about liberty, creating a short video, or learning a skill from the 1700s, participants bring history to life through creativity. This challenge promotes public speaking, design thinking, storytelling, and historical interpretation while encouraging youth to reflect on what freedom means in 2026 and beyond. It bridges America’s founding era with modern voices and perspectives.

Requirements for the Creative Expression component:

Choose one from the following options:

a) Design a unit-level shoulder patch or commemorative coin for the United States Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary). Explain the symbolism you chose to a family member, friend, or your unit.

b) Perform a 2- to 3-minute speech on one of the listed topics:
• What liberty means to me in 2026
• One right I won’t take for granted
• An American who inspires me and why
• What freedom looks like where I live

c) Create a short video (60–90 seconds) or a poster series suitable for sharing on social media that connects the ideals of 1776 to life today. (Youth must have parent/guardian approval before any posting.)

d) Learn a skill or play a game from the 1700s.
