Scout
Ski
Trip Location: Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort, West
Virginia: http://www.snowshoemtn.com.
This
has proven to have the most reliable conditions and very good
customer service, and the slopes have been enjoyed by all. Despite the
lousy weather, they currently (Jan 9)
have 44slopes open and will have many more by the time of the trip.
Lodging: Marlinton, West Virginia, Town Hall. Heated, Dry, Secure, Electrified, with men's and women's bathrooms. Sleep on the floor in sleeping bags, cots, or the popular inflatable mattress. Merit Badge: We could really use someone to help out with the merit badge. Chuck French did a great job last year. I hope that scouts will achieve the snow sport merit badge in one day. |

National Scout Jamboree in West
Virginia Imagine whitewater rafting, zip-lining, rappelling,
mountain biking,
hiking, and more - with 50,000 of your closest friends at the brand new
BSA Summit Bechtel Reserve in the wilds of West Virginia. Troop
451 has been offered its own 2013 National BSA Jamboree troop under the
leadership of Scoutmaster Jim Salamon. The
cost
is
estimated
to
be
$1,100.00.
To
participate,
Scouts
must
be:
1. First Class Scout;
2. At least 12 years of age by July 15, 2013, or an 11
year old who has completed the 6th grade;
3. Less than 18 years of age by July 24, 2013; and
4. Approved by the Scoutmaster
BSA National will provide all troop equipment such as tents and cooking equipment which will be in the campsite upon the troop's arrival. Scouts will only bring personal gear in a duffel bag which will be provided by BSA National as part of the jamboree fee. Each campsite will be provided with electricity and bathroom facilities. Plans are to provide each Scout with a cell phone which is programmed with individual schedules. Rather than being camped in subcamps by region, troops will be camped alongside troops from Alaska, Hawaii, California, etc. The programs will be offered from daylight to dark, and troops may decide when they wish to prepare meals. Cooking will be done at the troop level rather than patrol level. Lunches will be issued with breakfast in the morning. Access to program areas will be limited to jamboree participants. Visitors will not be allowed in the campsites. Visitors will be charged a reasonable fee, and pre-registration will be required. |
