2013 Jamboree
If your Scout would still like to attend, there are still spots open - BUT you will need to hurry up and get your form and deposit in. The overall cost will be something between $1800-$2000. It is not all due at once and there will be a monthly payment plan - probably till next May. This means you would be looking at roughly $125 a month or less. It is WELL worth the cost and will fill your Scout with wonderful memories of a lifetime!
If you are interested, please take a look at www.bsajambo.org and if you want to register - do it now! You will need your Scouts BSA ID number. If you do not have it, please contact Greg Cieply. You will need to click on the Register Now button here:
https://summit.scouting.org/
You will need to register HIM, using his name and email (not yours). You will get a form that needs to be completed and returned to the NWSC as soon as you can with a check for $200.
PLEASE consider this for your Scout. Three Scouts from Troop 175 went in 2010 and they had the most AMAZING time that they are going back this time.
Scouting's Bottom
Line
What happens to a Scout?
For every 100 boys who join
Scouting,
records indicate that:
- RARELY will one be brought before the juvenile court system
- 2 will become Eagle Scouts
- 17 will become future Scout volunteers
- 12 will have their first contact with a church
- 1 will enter the clergy
- 5 will earn their church award
- 18 will develop a hobby that will last through their adult life
- 8 will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit badge system
- 1 will use his Scouting skills to save his own life
- 1 will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another person
Scouting's alumni record is equally impressive. A recent nation-
wide survey of high schools revealed the following
information:
- 85% of student council presidents were Scouts
- 89% of senior class presidents were Scouts
- 80% of junior class presidents were Scouts
- 75% of school publication editors were Scouts
- 71% of football captains were Scouts
Scouts also account for:
- 64% of Air Force Academy graduates
- 68% of West Point graduates
- 70% of Annapolis graduates
- 72% of Rhodes Scholars
- 85% of F.B.I. agents
- 26 of the first 29 astronauts
