Jambo 2010

The highly anticipated 2010 National Scout Jamboree will be held July 23rd through August 4th at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. Council planning will begin soon and we will have local information sometime in 2008. Start saving your money NOW so that when applications become available, you can place most of or all of the registration fee with your application. Not everyone who wants to go will be able to. Those who are prepared and are willing to plan in advance, will get this "once in a lifetime" opportunity. If you are a Webelos this (2007-2008) year, you will be eligible to attend. Physical fitness, training, rank and good standing in your home troop will be important factors for being chosen. This page will keep you informed and help you prepare. Here's what to expect:
