Council Jamborees?

[frankpalazzi 62]

A council JAMBOree is a great idea! I wish more councils would consider doing it. Mass and RI do "Mass Jam", a combined effort. I don't think there's anything preventing a council from doing this. It would be much cheaper than a national event, but with the right resources and staff would be fun for the boys, and a profit for the council. Win and win.

Our council is small in geographical size, so we tend to have a council camporee once a year. I've been to a few of them and they're ok, but nothing too awesome. I am hoping to persuade the scouts in my troop to go this fall because they have never been.

 

We are supposed to be having a backpacking jamboree coming up. How that works, I don't know, but everything at the event will be a few miles into the woods at our camp. So I guess the only way you can judge one is to actually go to it! I am hoping to persuade the scouts in my troop to go this fall because they have never been. It will be interesting to see what we do.
