UPDATE 4/7/10 - Our waitlist for scouts interested in attending the 2010 National Jamboree as part of our council contingent currently stands at one.  We encourage any scout interested in attending to complete our Youth Pre-Registration Form and to return it to the council office with a $100 deposit as soon as possible (see registration details below beneath the heading YOUTH PARTICIPANTS).  Based on past experience with previous jamborees, we are very optimistic that any scout wishing to attend the jamboree will be accommodated in one of our council's contingent jamboree troops.

The Patriots' Path Council will be issuing a special collector's set of six Jamboree Council Shoulder Patches. These patches will feature eagles in flight and will be similar to those worn by Scouts and Scouters from the Patriots' Path Council participating in the 2010 National Scout Jamboree. The difference is that this limited run of 125 sets will feature a distinctive silver mylar border. And as a special bonus, the sets will not only include the six Jamboree Council Shoulder Patches, but will also include a similarly distinctive version of the lodge flap being issued by our Order of the Arrow lodge, Woapalanne 43, for the 2010 National Jamboree. Once again, only 125 of these limited edition lodge flaps will be issued and they will only be available as part of the Jamboree Collector's Set. The set of seven patches is priced at $100 per set. All proceeds will go towards reducing the costs for scouts to attend the jamboree.

The next National Scout Jamboree will be held during the summer of 2010 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Scouting. It will be held at Fort A. P. Hill, located in the rolling hills of Virginia. This will be a monumental event and a highlight to everyone’s Scouting experiences. Now is the time to start making plans to attend the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.
 
The Patriots’ Path Council is sending five, 40-person troops to the 2010 National Scout Jamboree, each consisting of 36 Scouts and four adult leaders.  While all 180 youth spots have been spoken for, we are accepting applications for placement on our waitlist.Past experience has shown that we have drop-offs prior to trip. In 2005, all scouts who were waitlisted (30+) ultimately found places in our jamboree contingent.

YOUTH PARTICIPANTS

Qualifications: Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts must be at least First Class Scouts.  They must have completed the sixth grade or be at least 12 years of age by July 1, 2010, but not have reached their 18th birthday by August 4, 2010.  All Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts must participate in a prejamboree training experience; file a complete Jamboree Personal Health and Medical Record prior to the prejamboree training; have been active in a troop or team for at least six months prior to July 1, 2010; and be approved by the unit leader and local council.

Cost: $1500 - includes transportation to/from the jamboree and almost everything else for the trip, excluding uniforms and personal equipment.

Registration: A completed pre-registration application and a $100 deposit will place a scout on our waitlist.  Waitlisted scouts can remove themselves from the waitlist via written instruction prior to being accepted and receive a refund of their $100 deposit.  However once accepted, the $100 deposit is nonrefundable.  Upon acceptance, applicants who have been confirmed will be directed to national web site to complete their enrollment process.  There is a $10 nonrefundable fee that must be paid when an individual completes their online enrollment.  Individuals will then be directed to print a confirmation, get their Scoutmaster’s signature of approval, and return the confirmation to the council office along with an additional nonrefundable $100 deposit.  Acceptance of scouts for the Jamboree will be based strictly on the council's pre-registration process; enrolling via the on-line system at the National Web Site will not change a scout's priority.


ADULT PARTICIPANTS

The council has already selected the 20 adult troop leaders that are needed for our council contingent. Adults interested in participating are encouraged to submit an application for jamboree staff (see below).
