Saturday, October 9 at the ScoutJam Midway is a phenomenal array of imaginative fun, friendships, and Scout activities that will inspire and delight all ages of Scouts and their families.  Each Midway activity sizzles with excitement, turning Oct. 9 into an unforgettable, adventure-packed experience. Don’t forget to bring the girls to participate in everything the boys do…including a Girl Scout booth in every District!

Imagine…one weekend that can multiply your Scouting experience in new and wonderful ways. Wind your way through two action-packed midways, filled with more than 300 adventures that will inspire and challenge you. Around every corner is an epic Scout adventure: a scuba diving thrill…an unforgettable journey through the Gibson/Epiphone Guitar Bus... meeting all kinds of Scouts who share your quest for adventure.

At the Midway, you’ll have outrageous, hands-on fun as you:
  • Enjoy Scout-themed activities – BB guns and archery shooting, fishing, rocket launching, geocaching, scuba diving, pioneering, orienteering, and more.
  • Play awesome games – such as bowling, life size chess, paper boat sailing, and dart blowing.
  • Venture into the mists of time at the Living History exhibit where interactive attractions bring 500 years of Texas and its people to life.
  • Exercise judgment as you take on new Scouting challenges and learn how to work with a group at Realistic First Aid or Semaphore Signaling. You’ll learn about trust and teamwork when it really counts!
  • See 100 years of Scouting memorabilia, how we got started, and how we’ve looked over the years.
  • Make a cool craft for yourself, and experience things you can do back home.
  • Challenge yourself with science, robotics, and engineering activities, leading edge learning from the top people in their fields. 
  • Come face to face with birds of prey and native reptiles.
  • Sample the most creative outdoor cooking in Central Texas.
You’ll find great performances all day with Scout bands on the Midway Live Stage – or watch and ride dirt bikes on the BMX Hill of Thrills. From the National Guard Game Alley to the Order of the Arrow Native American Village, every turn will be a new adventure.
ScoutJam 2010 is the only place in Central Texas for Scouting excitement like this. The rich history of Scouting and thousands of great people will make ScoutJam a unique Scout family experience. For pure exhilaration and multi-sensory fun, mark your calendars now for ScoutJam, Oct. 9, 2010
