VENTURERS SIGN UP NOW FOR 2013 JAMBOREE

The folks at the Summit wanted me to pass along a little info on the Jamboree that’s coming up in 2013. It’s a big deal, and there’s a lot to know about it, but first, take a second and watch this video …

1000 Scouts — Spontaneous Dance Party

That’s 20 seconds or so of the World Jamboree, held this last summer in Sweden. Looks like fun, right?

Now imagine 10 days of that, with other Scouts from all over the country. Throw in some of America’s best scenery (Almost Heaven, West Virginia) and sit it on top of the BSA’s newest High Adventure Base. What you’re picturing is the first national Scout jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, the new permanent home of the jambo.

For right now, here’s what’s important:

• Venturing will be at the jamboree for the first time ever!
• This is the first-ever jambo to be held at the Summit, Scouting’s newest High Adventure Base.
• This only happens once every four years; it could be your only chance to go to a jamboree as a Venturer.

So, this is pretty huge. An entire subcamp is being set aside just for Venturing. It’s our chance, for the first time ever, really, to show the rest of Scouting how amazing Venturing really is, smack in the middle of Scouting’s biggest showcase.

There’s plenty of info on the way about how Venturers can get to the Jamboree. I hope you’re as excited as I am. Something like this doesn’t come along very often.

So let’s make sure we have a huge showing at the Jamboree in 2013! Go check out the Top 3 Reasons To Attend The 2013 Jamboree, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Yours in Venturing,
Daniel A. Carriveau
2011-2012 National Venturing President
