Our troop had great participation at the 2013 Jamboree and looking forward to another crew attending in 2017!
As a follow up to our high adventure presentations a couple weeks ago I wanted to share additional details regarding the 2017 National Scout Jamboree.
What: 2017 National Jamboree, Participants will experience the 2017 theme, Live Scouting's Adventure, every day of the Jamboree. Whitewater rafting and kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing and bouldering are just a few of the activities offered at the Summit. There's also skateboarding, BMX, shooting sports, and zip-line challenge courses. And that's just the beginning. You will find forest canopy touring, buckskin games, SCUBA, rappelling towers, an American Indian village and more. The opening and closing arena shows are not to be missed! It's Scouting at its very best!
When:
July 18, 2017 Depart Indianapolis via charter busses
July 19 to July 28, 2017 – Jamboree Program at Summit Bechtel Reserve
July 28, 2017 – Return to Indianapolis
Where: The Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia
Why: Join 40,000 other Scouts and leaders from all over the world for fun, fellowship and adventure! Most Scouts only have 1 or 2 opportunities to participate in a National Jamboree as they only come around every 4 years.
How: Crossroads of America Council will take a contingent of 216 Boy Scouts, 36 Venturers and 28 adult leaders to the 2017 National Scout Jamboree. The Scouts will be divided into 6 troops, each consisting of 36 youth (ages 12 to 17) and 4 adult leaders (3 over age 21 and 1 young adult leader between 18 and 21). The two Venturing Patrols will each consist of 18 youth (ages 14 to 20) and 2 adult leaders (over age 21). Reservations start here
