I am on the IT staff for the BSA 2010 National Jamboree and I will write about my experiences over the next couple of weeks. First, many of you may be surprised that at a Boy Scout Camp we need IT support at all. Follow this blog to learn more about the reasons for that.
2010 is the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouting in the United States. That makes this Jamboree a very special event. Do you know what a Jamboree is? A Jamboree is often defined in terms of scouting (either Boy or Girl). It is a large assembly, often international with planned events and entertainment. The 2010 Jamboree will also commemorate the 100th anniversary of the BSA (Boy Scouts of America).
It is estimated that there will be 55,000+ scouts and leaders in attendance with a support staff of another 9,000 individuals. This is truly a large event. BSA has been preparing for this event for 5 years since the close of the last Jamboree.
Currently I am in transit to Fort A.P. Hill, VA, the location of this year's Jamboree. BSA has held it's Jamborees at this location since 1975 and this will be the last one for this site.
Stay tuned for more, regular updates to come from Fort A.P. Hill.
