Ten years ago the Orange County Council stepped up its efforts in giving more scouts the opportunity to attend the National Jamboree. "We felt we weren't sending enough boys to the National Jamboree so we set a goal to increase the number of troops going each time so that within 10 years we would be sending 10 troops." says Tom Brashears, 2010 Council Jamboree Committee Chair for the Orange County Council. In 2005 Orange County Council sent 8 troops. Each troop is comprised of 36 scouts and 4 adults. This gave 288 scouts the opportunity to attend the National Jamboree held in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia.
The 2010 National Jamboree again will be held in Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. This will be one of the highlights of the year for the Boy Scouts of America which will be celebration 100 years of Scouting in the US.
