During a special ceremony on Sunday, at the close of the BSA Centennial Parade in Washington, D.C., nearly 300 Scouts and Scouters were named as recipients of an honor bestowed upon a small contingent of Scouting's finest living examples of Scouting service and virtue; induction into the National Hall of Leadership. According to Chief Scout Bob Mazzuca, the National Hall of Leadership 100th Anniversary Celebration program is, "a one-time opportunity to recognize and thank Scouts, their leaders and any living person that has served as a scouting volunteer for the extraordinary difference they have made in the lives of others through their leadership.”

Beginning Monday, nearly 350 Boy Scouts, leaders and volunteers from Nebraska and western Iowa will be take part in this year’s National Boy Scout Jamboree. In less than a day, those attending will take over about 3,000 acres of land at Fort A.P. Hill ,near Bowling Green, Va., and transform it into a small city. Jamboree City, with an expected population of 50,000, in will include about 18,000 tents and 3,600 patrol kitchens. They will have a bus system, first-aid stations and a hospital, police and fire departments, telephone and Internet, post office, daily newspaper, trading posts and food warehouses. Over the course of the Jamboree, which run through Aug. 4, Scouts will have the chance to try their hands at archery, canoeing, fly fishing, kayaking rappelling, scuba diving, snorkeling, buckskin games, shooting and swimming. They will work on merit badges, watch evening entertainment and experience the 100th Anniversary rededication ceremony.

The Boy Scouts of America are preparing to celebrate its 100th anniversary with the national jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, about an hour south of the nation's capital. More than 46,000 Boy Scouts, leaders, staff and volunteers from around the world are expected at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree starting Monday in Caroline County. Organizers also anticipate around 250,000 visitors. Tents will help transform the 76,000-acre base into the state's seventh or eighth largest city. For 10 days, Scouts ages 12 to 18 will spend their time participating in archery, fishing and other events like geocaching, a GPS-based scavenger hunt. Other events include skeet shooting, robotics and a chance for Scouts to analyze a sample of their own DNA.
