National Scout Jamboree 2010

As next summer approaches, enthusiasm for the 100-year celebration at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree increases. Thirty-one countries will be represented at our national Scout jamboree, with 480 Scouts and leaders enjoying Scouting brotherhood at its best. Preparations are in full swing to host our international Scouting brothers. The international Scouts will share the true experience of a BSA jamboree as well as a part of American culture as they live and play with American Boy Scouts.

Countries that have confirmed their participation are: Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Georgia, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, New Zealand, Panama, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, and the United Kingdom.

International Committee Chairman Roger Schrimp recently stated that “international guests to the 2010 NSJ may hit a new all-time record, both in the number of countries as well as the number of participants.”
