Dates: July 20 to August 3, 2005

Travel Plans: The Circle Ten Council Jamboree contingent will leave Dallas on Wednesday, July 20, 2005 and fly to New York City. After a night’s stay, we will travel to Washington, D.C. arriving Thursday evening. Each Scoutmaster will arrange a tour schedule for the time in Washington, D.C. The sightseeing will allow ample time to tour the Smithsonian Institute, the White House, Washington monument, the Mall and many more Federal Offices and other highlights. On Monday morning, you depart for Fort A.P. Hill where you camp at the Jamboree until Aug 3. The contingent will depart for Dallas on August 3 by air.

Organization: The Jamboree is open on a first come basis who meet the National Jamboree requirements (see applications). After our troops have been filled, a standby list of alternates will be established. Scouts will be assigned to a jamboree troop consisting of 36 Scouts and four adult leaders. You will be a member of a patrol or a junior leader within a troop. The council contingent will consist of at least 12 troops. There will be a shakedown camp in April or May of 2005 at which your attendance is mandatory.

Total Cost: $1,850 for Scouts -- $1,200 for Leaders.
