2013 National Scout Jamboree
Now open to Venturers!
July 15-24, 2013
The Baden-Powell Council is now starting to organize a
Boy Scout contingent and Venture Crew for the 2013 National Scout
Jamboree, which will be held at the new Summit Base in West Virginia
during the summer of 2013.
This is one of the most significant events in a Scout’s career,
joining the 45,000 Scouts from the United States and foreign countries.
This announcement is to promote the Jamboree and invite expressions of
interest from youth and adults who would like to attend the 2013 event.
Planning is underway and we are initiating the process of selecting
leaders and establishing Scout Troops and Venturing Crews that will
begin to operate in early 2012. Click Here if you would like to download
an application to be considered for a spot.
There are plans to have the Contingent stop along the way at historic
Gettysburg, PA before continuing on to West Virginia to join the
Jamboree for 10 days and stopping on the way back at Hershey Park in
Hershey, PA. Our contingent will include one Troop comprised of 36
Scouts and 4 Scouters and one Venturing patrol comprising of either
eight youth (if male and female mix) and two adult leaders (one male and
one female); or nine youth (same gender) and one leader (same gender).
Boy Scouts must be 1st Class and 12 years of age by July 15, 2013, but
not have reached their 18th birthday by July 24, 2013. Venturing Scouts
must be 14 years of age by July 15, 2013, but not have reached their
21st birthday by July 24. Troops/Crews will form in early-2012 and begin
operations including development of adult leadership, youth leadership,
committee support, fund raising, planning, fellowship and great
Scouting! The cost of this event will be $1,400 per Scout/Venturer.
Scholarship support may be available on an individual situation basis.
