The Jamboree brings together thousands of scouts from every corner of the United States of America and even from some countries around the world! Besides having the opportunity to meet new people, you''ll have the opportunity to participate in activities like 4-way volleyball, rifle shooting, Action Alley, bikathlon's, Buckskin Games, confidence courses, bicycle motocross, pioneering, rappelling towers, trapshooting, fishing, canoe slalom, scuba diving, kayaking, daily stage shows, and the OA American Indian Village (plus, much, much more). The Jamboree is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that you won't want to miss! The 2013 National Jamboree will feature scouting's new home in West Virginia at the Bechtel Summit. The location promises to offer tons of new opportunities for adventure and loads of fun! Activities at the Summit will go from dawn to dusk; the event will be high-energy and you will have an even more diverse experience than in 2010!
