 2010 National Jamboree - July 26 - August 4
Twice per decade, the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America organizes the ultimate Boy Scout experience, the National Boy Scout Jamboree! The BSA has announced that the next Jamboree has been scheduled in 2010 to coincide with the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America! Over 40,000 Scouts and Scouters attended the last National Scout Jamboree in 2005 and all the excitement of past Jamborees will be incorporated with new themes and shows. The 2010 National Scout Jamboree is scheduled to take place at Ft. A.P. Hill, Virginia, from July 26 through August 4, 2010
