National Scout Jamboree 2010

The Winnebago Council Contingent to the National Scout Jamboree

Scouts from the Winnebago Council will be attending the National Scout Jamboree, July 26 - August 4, 2010, at Fort A.P. Hill, Caroline County, Virginia, with nearly 180 Scouts from all over the Winnebago Council. Over 43,000 scouts and leaders are expected to attend from all over the country and from all over the world. It is the experience of a lifetime as the Boy Scouts of America celebrate their 100th anniversary. Imagine 10 days of fun and activities - all day long - every day - plus some spectacular arena shows with great entertainment, and an opportunity to tour some of our country's historic past in Washington D.C. and surrounding areas. It's going to be a great time!

The Jamboree 2010 Committee thanks the Black Hawk County Gaming Association for its generous support in helping to fund the equipment we will be taking to Jamboree 2010. The Committee would also like to thank Farmers State Bank for sponsoring our green Jamboree t-shirts. Because of the generosity of these organizations, our Boy Scout's cost to attend Jamboree has been reduced. Thank you Black Hawk County Gaming Association and Farmers State Bank.
