Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia
A century of the finest outdoor and leadership experience a boy could have! This tradition lives on at the pinnacle of the 100th Anniversary of Scouting—the 2010 National Jamboree. Yesterday merges with tomorrow at the greatest Scouting event of the century. It is the opportunity of a lifetime, one you will never forget.
The 2010 National Scout Jamboree will take place July 26 – August 4, 2010. Fort A.P. Hill, which lies near many historical Civil War landmarks, has hosted the National Scout Jamboree since 1981. It is nestled in the rolling green hills of Virginia, close to our nation’s capital. The Boy Scouts of America uses approximately 3,000 acres of this 76,000-acre facility to support a city of more than 43,000 Scouts and leaders.
The Founder of the Scouting movement, , Sir Robert Baden-Powell knew what success looked like for the 10th anniversary of Scouting in 1916. It was the sight of thousands of youth gathered together to celebrate. The jamboree was born! More than 654,000 Scouts and leaders have shared the jamboree experience and hiked the trails, paths, and roadways at 16 National Scout jamborees.
