Drop by this unique campsite along Thomas Road adjacent to jamboree headquarters at Heth. Here you will find the first Scout camp in America, which was operated at Silver Bay in New York state beginning in 1910.
The historical re-creation of first Boy Scout camp, conducted by Baden-Powell in 1907 on Brownsea Island off the coast of England, will feature demonstrations, games, and activities conducted by a select group of Scouts dressed in the costume of time. British and Canadian Scouts will also be involved in the Brownsea Island experince
Close to 100 booths will fill the Merit Badge Midway. The midway will feature many exiting hands-on activities for Scouts. It is designed to stimulate their interest in a wide variety of merit badges, including Auto Mechanics, Skiing, Communications, Energy, Aviation, and Computers. Scouts will have an opportunity to practice many skills related to the merit badges. They may meet some of the requirements of the badge at the jamboree and then complete the requirements at home.
