The centerpiece of the National celebration of the first century of Scouting will be the 2010 National Scout Jamboree. Over 40,000 Scouts and Scouters from across the Nation and around the world will come together for a two week celebration of Scouting. The activities will be practically endless. More information about the 2010 Jamboree can be found at http://www.bsajamboree.org.

The Atlanta Area Council will be represented by 6 Troops (216 youth and 24 adults) at the 2010 Jamboree as official participants. This will truly be a once a life time experience and space will be limited. Participating Scouts must between 12 and 18 at the time of the Jamboree and at least have attained the rank of 1st Class.

Many other youth and Scouters can attend in staff positions. Formal communication about the specifics of the Atlanta Jamboree Contingent will be coming from the Council Jamboree Committee in the next few months. Interviews for Jamboree Troop leadership positions will be held in the early fall of 2008.

All Youth and adult leaders must complete an online application. It is accessed through www.MyScouting.org. Applicants will need to use their BSA ID number or their Social Security number to access the application Web site. This application does not guarantee you a position for the Jamboree, but does get you started on the process to be approved as a participant, or staff member.
