The 2017 theme, "Live Scouting's Adventure," symbolizes the adventurous spirit and exciting high-adventure and outdoor opportunities available to youth and adult members in Scouting.
It's here! The BSA has officially released the logo and theme of the 2017 National Scout Jamboree . At the second jamboree to be held at the Summit Bechtel Reserve, you'll be able to explore the mystery, adventure, and beauty of a West Virginia summer.
It seems like we just finished catching our breath from the 2013 National Jamboree when we are now announcing the official theme and logo for the next Jamboree in 2017 – where has the time gone? From going big and getting wild in 2013, in 2017, we will "Live Scouting's Adventure."
Take a look at every national Scout jamboree logo from 1937 to 2017. They've come in multiple shapes over the years but all embody the Scouting spirit.
The 2017 National Scout Jamboree will feature the theme "Live Scouting's Adventure," with a logo that embraces the energy of the Summit Bechtel Reserve.
I know many of you collect patches, be they council strips, Order of the Arrow lodge flaps, or activity patches. One of the several patch collection I have is of the 2001 National Jamboree. I collect from that event because I attended it with nine Boy Scouts from my troop.

Here are a couple of snapshots for Throwback Thursday. The year was 1989. Times were different then, though maybe not much. Cameras shot pictures on film. Scouts had red epaulets. And George Bush was president. The first Pres. George Bush, the one with the extra H.
Col. Lawrence Dahl, an Eagle Scout whose words inspired Scouts and Venturers at the 2013 National Jamboree's stadium show, has died.
Here's some other Jamborees that would be awesome to go to. If only I were independently wealthy... It would be warm at the 15th Caribbean Jamboree .

Volunteers Like You! That's who we're looking for to make the 2017 National Scout Jamboree at The Summit Bechtel Reserve an amazing Scouting experience. Volunteers in the Boy Scouts of America know what it means to serve. It's the volunteer spirit that makes the hard work worth it.
Better transportation, more time off, a staff village and maybe, just maybe, warmer showers. That's just some of what's in store for volunteers at the 2017 National Jamboree. They're in for an even better experience than staffers had last summer.
Steve Fox's list of roles and responsibilities in Scouting spans five decades. From his boyhood home in Maryland, to college in Indiana and Illinois, as a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand, and during eight tours of duty with the Foreign Service in East and South Asia, the Middle East, and Africa Scouting has continued to…
Only three of these patches were ever made. Baden-Powell's granddaughter sewed each one by hand using thread from a jacket once worn by James E. West." Does that patch-trading pitch make your Spidey sense tingle? In the past, you might have just laughed, said "no deal" and walked away.
