2010 National Scout Jamboree Opens
It’s here at last! Today opens the 2010 National Scout Jamboree as more than 38,000 Boy Scouts and 3,700 adult leaders stream into Fort A.P. Hill in Caroline County, Virginia.
They come from all 50 states and from countries around the world to spend 10 days of fun, adventure, and fellowship. Activities range from archery to rappelling. Scouts can work on merit badges, fish, and learn about our high-tech world at the special Technology Quest exhibit.
A major highlight of this year’s jamboree is the giant 100th Anniversary Arena Show Saturday, July 31, celebrating the Boy Scouts of America’s centennial since its founding in 1910.
Today will see thousands of tents being pitched in 21 subcamps across Fort A.P. Hill as the Scouts settle into their home for the next 10 days. The boys can look forward to a once-in-a-lifetime experience as they celebrate 100 Years of Scouting at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.
