2010 National Scout Jamboree
Fort A. P. Hill, Virginia
The first time RMC sent a group of scouts to the national
Jamboree, it was probably a long hard trip in a school bus. Then, over the
years, someone had the idea to really make it a trip to remember. We decided to
offer a side trip to Washington, DC or New York City, as our boys will probably
never get an opportunity like this again. To cut down on the long, tiring drive,
lets fly. Programs and trips grow and develop. Now we have a plane flight and
side trip of Wash DC and NYC planned, along with the Jamboree. Most of us agree,
that Jambo is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and for a lot of young men in
Southern Colorado, a trip to the nation’s capitol probably is too. Those boys
that have gone on past trips agree, that the NYC and DC tours are highlights of
the trip. Are your boys ready for the experience of a lifetime? The entire trip
is estimated at $3000. Fundraising plans are in place. Register now at
www.MyScouting.org
and bring your registration receipt and deposit to the RMC
office. The Troop size is limited and more sign up each week, so hurry and get
in on this opportunity.

World Scout Jamboree
Editorial
Hallo and welcome to the first edition of our
World Scout Jamboree Sweden 2011
newsletter. We’ve called our newsletter “Aktuellt”, which means “current” or
“up-to-date” in Swedish.
It’s been an amazing summer. The celebrations for the Centenary of Scouting have
been fantastic. The pictures we have seen and the events we have experienced
have been exciting, exhilarating and have made us feel close to our brother and
sister Scouts all around the world. Here in Sweden we held the second National
Swedish Scout Jamboree, Jiingijamborii, with 20 000 participants. After that
many of us travelled to the United Kingdom (UK) for the 21st World Scout
Jamboree at Hylands Park. We’d like to congratulate the Scout Association UK for
a wonderful event, and for bringing so many Scouts from so many countries
together.
Back in Sweden, our World Scout Jamboree 2011 team has gathered together all the
information and pictures we took in the United Kingdom. We also have a great
deal of information from our national jamboree which we will evaluate and learn
from in our preparations for this next event. We hope you enjoy this edition of
our newsletter, and don’t forget to check our
website every now and again for any new information we have available.
Yours in Scouting
The World Scout Jamboree 2011 team
