LOUD THUNDER - ON THE MOVE! |
|
Eight staff cabins were 'relocated' courtesy of some hard working OA members at the fall conclave.
During the work projects at Loud Thunder last weekend some personal tools did not get back the correct owners. (New red bolt cutters, 2 red hammers, 3 different sized crow bars....all of these have/had electrical tape on them somewhere) among other tools.
If you have tools that are not yours please drop off to the ranger at camp or at the Trading Post. We will let people know so that they may claim them. |

The Boy Scouts 2010 Jamboree
July 26th - August 4th
Ft. A.P. Hill, Virginia
"The best, most exciting, fun-filled, safest jamboree ever!"
Since 1937, more than 654,000 Scouts and leaders have shared the jamboree experience and hiked the trails, paths, and roadways at 16 national Scout jamborees. Now, 100 years after Scouting reached the United States, it's your turn to celebrate!
Nestled in the rolling green hills of Virginia, close to our nation's capital, Fort A.P. Hill lies near many historical Civil War landmarks. This 76,000-acre facility has hosted the national Scout jamboree since 1981. The Boy Scouts of America uses approximately 3,000 acres of land to support a city of more than 43,000 Scouts and leaders.
