2010 National Jamboree Visitor Information

To All Scout Leaders with units planning to visit the 2010 National Jamboree:

Re: 2010 NATIONAL SCOUT JAMBOREE VISITOR INFORMATION

Due to the anticipated high volume of visitor traffice at the 2010 National Jamboree the attached documents describe policy and information for all visiting Scout units. Hopefully this will speed up your units arrival and attendance to this historic scouting event. Additional information can be found ont he BSA 2010 National Jamboree Web site.

Since 1981 hundreds of thousands of Scouts and visitors have enjoyed the privilege of experiencing a Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill!

In gratitude to our gracious host, and consistent with our "Leave No Trace" practice, we are committed to leaving the Fort Pristine and beautiful. We are also committed to ensuring taht Jamboree participants and visitors ahve necessary services available. Every visitor to this year's Jamboree will be asked to become an "Official Centennial Jamboree Supporter".

At the gates to the visitor parking area, we will be collecting a $10 donation per person per day to recover the expense of visitor support, and to aid in the restoration of the site. This will hlep us perform grounds clean-up, provide additional protable restrooms and sanitation stations, and enhance the many amenities and services provided for the visitors to the Jamboree. All visitors will receive the distinctive Visitor's Patch.

To help expedite arrival for vehicles carrying 8 or more people, we are encouraging councils and other large groups to send one check for $10 per person per day in advance. Please use the Visitor Information Transmittal form. Upon receipt, a voucher and windshield placard will be sent to the designated group leader. The voucher will need to be presented to the Jamboree Wecome Team to facilitate a quick entrance using the "Easy Entry Lane" (represented as (E2) on the window placard) to the group parking area.

Encourage all of your Scouts and Scouters who will be visiting the Jamboree to help us "Leave No Trace" and to become "Official Centennial Jamboree Supporters".

Visiting hours will be:

Tuesday, July 27, 9am to 5pm

Wednesday, July 28, 11am to 5pm

Thursday, July 29, 9am to 5pm

Friday, July 30, 9am to 5pm

Saturday, July 31, 9am to 11pm

Sunday, August 1, 1pm to 5pm

Monday, August 2, 9am to 5pm

If any of your groups plan to visit on July 31, they are strongly urged to arrive as early in the day as possible. The Jamboree will be required to close the gates to the Fort when the capacity for the Arena Show is reached, and no more visitors will be able to enter the property.

Remind them of your local 100th Anniversary celebration that includes your broadcast of the 100th Anniversary Arena Show, and encourage them to visit the Jamboree on another day. Let your groups know that the Jamboree does have several retail food areas but that visitors cannot eat in the troop sites or the staff dining centers.

There is no accommodation on site for visitors including RV sites, tent areas or fixed housing. Visitors with physical disabilities are welcome and reminded that our terrain is rolling ground with no sidewalks, and that there are no bus lifts of battery charging facilities. Most visitors will walk more than 5 miles a day at the Jamboree.

When visitors arrive at Fort A.P. Hill they will be directed tot he visitor parking area and to the Jamboree Welcome Center. At the Center they can get directions to regions, subcamps and visitor approved activity areas. The Jamboree areas and programs open to visitors include the Army Adventure Center, Conservation, Exhibits & Displays, 100th Anniversary Arena Show, Venturing, 2013 Jamboree display, Technology Quest, Brownsea Island, Disabilities Awareness, Amateur Radio as well as the Trading Posts, Scout Shop and food outlets.
