National Scout Jamboree 2005
Fort A.P. Hill, Bowling Green, VA
The largest group of Scouts and leaders (12) from Troop 970 attended the 11 day National Jamboree.
A few highlights of the event were: a live appearance of President George W. Bush who gave an
impressive Scouting focused speech, a 27-minute pyrotechnic display by Zambelli fireworks, a Merit
Badge Midway, adventures provided by the US Army, Navy, Coast Guard and National Guard, shooting
sports (archery, rifle, shotgun trap and skeet), water sports (canoe, kayak, scuba), lots of hiking in 90
degree temps and of course patch trading.
Jamboree Troops are contingent troops. That means they are made up of boys (36) and adults (4) from
different home troops. Each contingent troop (over 10,000 of them) designed and built a gateway
to their site. The photo below was taken in front of the Jamboree Troop 521 tent site.
