Jamboree Location and Dates

Fort A. P. Hill, located in the rolling hills of Caroline County, Virginia, near the towns of Fredericksburg and Bowling Green is an ideal facility to hold this major national Scout jamboree. Near many historical Civil War battlefields, the intallation was named in honor of Lt. General Ambrose Powell Hill, a Virginia native who distinguished himself as a Confederate commander.

This 76,000-acre U.S. Army facility has served as the permanent site for the national Scout jamboree since 1981. The Boy Scouts of America uses approximately 3,000 acres of land to support a city of more than 40,000 Scouts and leaders.

The 2010 National Scout Jamboree will be held from July 26 through August 4, 2010.

The specific dates of the contingent travel intinerary will be announced as soon as it is determined.
