Each year, the United States Naval Academy (USNA) welcomes Boy Scout troops to the USNA STEM Merit Badge Jamboree. Members of USNA’s chapter of the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA) share their expertise with troops during an adventure-packed weekend. The upcoming jamboree is scheduled for January 15-17, 2016, and attendance is expected to be huge.
With 2016 just around the corner, now’s the time to get your councils amped up to register for the 2017 Jamboree. So to help you pump up the excitement in your councils, Scouting Wire is sharing some helpful videos to illustrate why the jamboree is the Scouting event you won’t want to miss.
Need a quick video explaining what the Jamboree is all about? You’re at the right place. Check out the video below to get an overview of what’s in store for participants and staff volunteers attending the 2017 Jamboree. After you watch, share the video with your Scouting network and spread the word on social media.
During his lifetime Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the worldwide Scouting movement, wrote many books and articles directed to Scouters. Each Sunday I'll publish a selection from his writings in the hope that you'll draw inspiration and understanding from his timeless ideas.
With the completion of the 100 th anniversary of NOAC, the 2015 World Scout Jamboree and The Summit Bechtel Reserve’s second summer season, a very exciting summer is one for the history books. Now, it’s time focus on the 2017 National Scout Jamboree.
The 2017 Jamboree might seem like lightyears away but plans for the big event are in full swing! This week marks exactly two years until Jamboree and now’s the time to keep the momentum going. The BSA encourages volunteers to join the fun by lending a helping hand as a Jamboree staff volunteer at the…
Two years from now at this time, scouts from across the country will be at the National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia… What can they expect? What will be the experience? Will it all be worth it?? Listen to these perspectives from an LDS Troop who attended in 2013:
I attended the 2001 National Jamboree as the scoutmaster of Troop 1417. I had a great time. I had a great troop. And I collected quite a few patches from the event. In fact, I still collect patches from the event when I find some for a reasonable trade or cost.
You’ve heard that the 2017 Jamboree staff and youth registration is open , but what you don’t know is that Eagle Scout Climber Matt Moniz will be there and he’s sharing why this jamboree is one for the record books. From Boliva to Africa to Nepal, Matt has been to quite a few summits across the…
BSA National just went live with registrations for the National Jamboree to be held at The Summit Bechtel Reserve near Beckley WV from July 15 – 29, 2017. We are stoked! Both Bear Bait and Tangled were able to go to Jambo in 2013, the first to be held at The Summit.
2017 National Jamboree registration is now open. Get ready, because 2017 will be here before you can say "Live Scouting's Adventure."
Experience the best of Scouting, all in one place! Where can you do that, you ask? The 2017 National Scout Jamboree , of course! From stadium shows to merit badges, patch trading to adventure sports, you’ll want to be at the Summit Bechtel Reserve from July 19 to July 28, 2017 .
One of the fun traditions of Scouting is patch trading. I have been acquiring patches now since about 1978. I would like to say that I have a ton of patches, but I really don't. You see, I did like most Scouts and Scouters do and did, I got a patch for going to Camporee…
In reading some comments on a Bryan on Scouting blog post, someone lamented that President Obama did not attend that National Jamboree while “every other President attended Boy Scout Jamborees while in office.” I was curious as to how accurate that statement was, as I’ve heard it several times prior to that comment.
For this week's installment of Throwback Thursday, check out this group photo of the 1987 National Jamboree contingent from Northeast Ohio Council (now part of the Greater Western Reserve Council). This was Troop 1912. As I recall the number was important in the history of scouting, possibly when the first units in the area were…
