How many BSA Jamboree Attendees/Visitors?

[Alex2614]

Hi all! All of us here in West Virginia are extremely excited to be the permanent host of all future Boy Scouts of America National Jamborees, the first of which will be July 15-24 2013.

So my question to you is: how many of you will be there? I will be an assistant scoutmaster for contingent D223 from Mountaineer Area Council. Also, rumor has it that Dean Kamen will be in attendance. Does anybody know when? I would like to try to get to him when there isn't a crowd of 30,000 people

Also, what are your thoughts on The Summit? For those that don't know, The Summit Bechtel National Scout Reserve is the newest of four national high-adventure bases and the home of all future national jamborees (and 2019 world jamboree). It is located directly adjacent to the New River Gorge National River in southern West Virginia. So, again, what are your thoughts? If you are participating, what have you thought of the organization and communication so far, and do you think that this will be a smooth jamboree?

FRC 2468 has some students (FRC and FTC) attending but I am not for sure how many. One of our mentors, Bob Witowski, will be working the ropes/climbing. If you are there look him and give him a hollar.

FRC4322 has four students and two mentors attending. Look for Jamboree Troop B306 and Crew F105 with the Orange County Council contingent.
