WHO:          All Boy Scouts/Venture Crew (and their parents) interested in information about attending the 2013 National Scout Jamboree (see www.bsajamboree.org).
SUBJECT:     The 2013 National Boy Scout Jamboree is over a year away, but this is not an event you simply sign up for a few months ahead.  Each Boy Scout Council across the nation is already organizing contingent troops that will depart for New York City and Washington D.C. before they arrive at The Summit in West Virginia for 10 days of FUN and HIGH ADVENTURE.  The 2013 Jamboree will feature whitewater rafting, zip-lining, rappelling, mountain biking, hiking, and more - with 50,000 of your closest friends at the brand new Summit Bechtel Reserve in the wilds of West Virginia that a Scout will remember for a lifetime. 
The North Star District is forming a contingent troop made up of 36 Scouts and 4 Adult leaders for the purpose of attending the Jamboree.  Scouts are beginning to sign-up and more are signing up daily.
