 Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the past year, you should have heard about the 2010 National Jamboree. In less then a few days, a tent city composed of 45,000 Scouts and Scouters will rise and disappear upon the grounds of Virginia at Fort A.P. Hill.
Here, memories that will last a lifetime will be shared upon the climax of the BSA’s
centennial celebration.
Our Order contributes significantly to the Jamboree’s program including; an American Indian Village where you can learn about Native American customs and traditions, the OA Service Corps will help with physical arrangements of different things at the Jamboree, and finally there is a daily show that will be seen by every troop entitled "The Mysterium Compass." Also, a recent program called "PACEsetters-Leaders for Life” will promote physical fitness within Scout’s daily lives.
The section leadership extends a special thank you to those Arrowmen serving in these, and other, staff positions. Whether you’re a participant, contingent leader, staff member, or just touring the area, please come be a part of the celebration this summer! |

The National Order of the Arrow Committee is pleased to announce SummitCorps - The New River Experience - a hybrid of ArrowCorps5 and our OA High Adventure programs. During July 2011, SummitCorps - The New River Experience will provide service to the New River Gorge National River in West Virginia.
Upgrading the trail bed of the Garden Grand Hike and Bike Trail, along with invasive species removal, will be the focus of the project. The Garden Grand Hike and Bike Trail connects the New River Gorge National River to the Boy Scout's new high adventure base and home of the Jamboree - The Summit: The Bechtel Family National Reserve.
Lodge contingents have a choice of four sessions to attend - 1) July 3-9, 2) July 10-16, 3) July 17-23, and 4) July 24-30. Similar to ArrowCorps5 and our High Adventure programs, the week will consist of service and recreation opportunities.
The projected cost for each participant is $250. Youth and adults may participate in SummitCorps - The New River Experience. Lodge contingents are responsible for transportation to and from the event site. The Charleston, WV and Columbus, OH airports are convenient to the event site.
More event information, registration details, and promotional materials will be available by late summer 2010. A series of informational webinars will be held in late summer 2010 to provide more details to section and lodge leadership.
