The Occoneechee Council Contingent to the National Scout Jamboree
Dream it. See it. Experience it.
The Boy Scouts of America will celebrate 100 Years of Scouting with a National Centennial Jamboree in 2010. In 2005, National Council, BSA elected to increase the interval between National Jamborees from 4 years to 5 years in order to provide the opportunity to have the 2010 National Centennial Jamboree during the 100 Years of Scouting celebration!
Occoneechee Council has already started planning for this Once in a Lifetime opportunity. This web site will serve as the central communication point for all information regarding the 2010 National Jamboree. Please make it a point to check this web site on a regular basis. The Jamboree planning committee will post updated plans, information, and other additional information to help you prepare for this experience.
