Twelve Scouts from Troop 26 to attend 2010 National Jamboree

12 Scouts from our Troop will be attending the biggest Centennial Celebration from National BSA, the 2010 National Jamboree! The council has posted a lot of useful information on their web site, so be sure to check it out! You can also visit National's Jambo website for more information. Other useful sites for the Jambo that are not produced or sanctioned by National include Scouter's pages on the National Jamboree, or the Jambo Leader. No other Troop in our Council has this many Scouts going to the Jambo, so we should be proud of our Troop and our Scouts!
