National Scout Jamboree

What is National Jamboree?

Every four years, Scouts from all over the country gather together at the National Scout Jamboree. Since 1937, the Boy Scouts of America has held National Scout Jamborees for Scouts and leaders of Boy Scout councils throughout the United States. Nearly 600,000 Scouts and leaders have hiked the trails, paths, and roadways since the first jamboree was held at the base of the Washington Monument on the Mall in our nation's capital.

The 2010 National Scout Jamboree will be held at Fort A. P. Hill in Virginia - July 26, 2010-August 4, 2010.
