Jamboree 07/26-08/04 2010
It is the opportunity of a lifetime...one you will never forget!
100 years of Boy Scouting!
Applications no longer being accepted...
Fort A.P. Hill, located in the rolling hills of Caroline County, Virginia, near the towns of Fredericksburg and Bowling Green is an ideal facility to hold this major Scout Jamboree.
The 76,000 acre U.S. Army facility has served as the permanent site for the National Scout Jamboree since 1981. The Boy Scouts of America uses approximately 3,000 acres of land to support a city of more than 40,000 Scouts and leaders.
Program features reflect the skills of scouting, our national heritage, physical fitness, environmental conservation and the true spirit of Scouting.
Daily activities include archery, bikathon, buckskin games, confidence course, conservation programs, scuba, kayak fun, racing shell run and raft encounters.
Regional action centers with repelling towers are truly popular, as are trap shooting, an American Indian Village and the opening and closing arena shows, not to mention daily shows and many other activities. It is Scouting and American History at their very best!
The mission of the Jamboree is to provide a diverse group of Scouts and Scouters a meaningful and memorable experience that will instill the lasting values and traditions of Scouting in America and our highest priority will be to conduct the Jamboree in a safe and secure environment.
