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. |
