A New Online Tour and Activity Plan will officially replace the old Tour Plan beginning May 10, 2012. The new Plan is accessed through unit leader accounts at:
http://www.myscouting.org/. A video and FAQ are also on that site.
A whole host of new and traditional activities, events and programming will make up the jamboree and Summit experience. However, all the planning, program areas and infrastructure in the world does not a Jamboree make. It is the volunteers that oversee the programs and interact with the Scouts that breathe the life into creating this unforgettable experience. So if you have been waiting to find out how you can get involved, here is your chance to be part of history and get involved with the future of Scouting!
Sign up now for the 2013 Jamboree!
It may be over a year away, but we only have two openings left in our contingent. Details are on the
Information Sheet.
