Jamboree By the Numbers

If you wonder why you felt you were part of something REALLY BIG at Jamboree, it's because you were! More than 30,000 youth and adult participants were there at The Summit, plus staff, plus visitors!  Here's a story that puts those numbers into perspective as it relates to BSA membership.

While you're here, look to the left of the sound and light tower in the photo. That big patch of orange? I'd be willing to bet that's us, making our mark!
