 Not Your Typical Camporee!
Download info here:
ScoutJam 2010 is much more than a Council Camporee, but it retains the important pieces of Camporee weekends. Picture 200 Troops and 5,000 Boy Scouts having the time of their lives.
Your first priority is to get ScoutJam on your calendar for the weekend of October 8-10 and then let us know you’re coming through your District Sub-Camp Chief. Then get the boys together to figure out what activity you want to host on Saturday.
Troops will camp Jamboree style by District in Sub-Camps. Space may be tight and Leave No Trace is the order of the day. This won’t be the weekend to bring the smoker trailer. We don't expect Scouts to spend much time in campsites though, because there is a lot to do every day. Starting with Friday evening, there will be a ceremonial opening campfire led by the Order of the Arrow, with opportunities for a 100th Anniversary Brotherhood ceremony Saturday evening after the Arena Show.
Saturday is an all-day adventure, participating in hundreds of activities and hosting your Troop's activity in the Indoor or Outdoor Scout Midway. The morning starts off at 8:45 with an all-unit color guard procession to lead to the opening of the Scout Midway at 9AM. The first 100 units to register and prepay on the Council website will be part of the opening ceremony where one of your Scouts will carry your flag, later to be displayed in welded racks in front of the Scout Midway with 99 others for a colorful celebration of coming together as one big Scouting family this weekend.
We’ll have all facets of Scouting represented, including games, activities, Scout skills, and many of the 100+ career and hobby-focused merit badge themes in which Boy Scouts participate.
Our older Scout programs for young men and women aged 14-20 will be on hand as Venture Crews, Sea Ships, and Explorer Posts showcase their special areas of expertise, from firefighting to medical careers, police and sheriff’s duties, emergency medical services, and of course, high adventures in trekking and sailing.
We’ve also invited dozens of special exhibitors to provide hands-on activities and experiences from the best in Texas.
After the Midway closes down at 4PM Troops are asked to return to camp to prepare dinner . There will be time for Scouts to mingle prior to the Arena Show at 7PM. The Arena Show caps off the day with a once-in-a-lifetime blend of Jamboree-type memories, live bands, and entertainers, all in the 12,000 seat Luedecke Arena.
Sunday morning will include an interfaith chapel service in the outdoor amphitheater followed by police lines, campsite cleanup, and a return home.
