Over
40,000 Scouts and Scouters attended the last Jamboree in 2005, and all the
excitement of past Jamborees will be incorporated with new themes and shows.
What goes on at a Jamboree? Everything that the combined resources of the
National Council plus hundreds of the best volunteers from every local
council can provide! For example: 5K Fun Runs, 4-way volleyball, rifle shooting,
Action Alley, bikathlonÕs, Buckskin Games, confidence courses, bicycle
motocross, pioneering, rappelling towers, trapshooting, fishing, canoe
slalom, scuba diving, kayaking, a huge merit badge midway,
daily stage shows and the Order of the Arrow American Indian Village, Plus
much more! Celebrating 100 Years - A Year of CelebrationFor 100 years, the Boy Scouts of America has created a strong foundation of leadership, service, and community for millions of America's youth. Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will demonstrate the incredible impact of a century of living the Scout Law. Program participants will earn recognition for making a difference in their communities due to their dedication to five of Scouting's core values: Leadership, Character, Community Service, Achievement, and the Outdoors. Through that commitment, participants can earn each of five award ribbons to display from our 100th Anniversary commemorative patch. A Year of Celebration will take place from September 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. The program is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, adult leaders, and Scouting alumni. Read the patch requirements to learn more. More information
